The Wentzville School District Board of Education has approved the hiring of Dr. Laura Rowe as principal of Frontier Middle School for the 2020-2021 school year. Dr. Rowe, who has been serving as an assistant principal at Lakeview Elementary for the past three years, will replace Dr. Jeri LaBrot who has been hired as the new Assistant Superintendent of Student Services for the District. Dr. Rowe has worked for the WSD since 2010. Prior to becoming an administrator, she taught English at both Frontier and South Middle and taught middle and high school English previously at two districts in Illinois.

Dr. Rowe holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Illinois, a Master of Education degree from Benedictine University, an Education Specialist degree in Administration from Lindenwood University, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Maryville University.

“I am humbled and honored to be selected to serve as head principal at Frontier Middle School!  It is with great excitement that I return to FMS, where I began my tenure as an educator in the Wentzville School District ten years ago,” shared Dr. Rowe.  “As principal, I look forward to the opportunity to support the culture and tradition of academic excellence in a learning environment in which students come first.”
