The Stoughton Area School District is excited to introduce new leadership at both Stoughton High School and River Bluff Middle School. With fresh faces taking on pivotal roles, the community is eagerly anticipating the positive changes and continued excellence these leaders will bring!

Stoughton High School

At Stoughton High School, Cassie Jemilo will take the helm as Principal following the retirement of long-serving Principal Mike Kruse. Cassie's vision for the school includes upholding the high standards set by her predecessor while also implementing new strategies to enhance student learning and engagement.

Cassie’s words:

"I am deeply honored to rejoin the Stoughton Area School District! Over a decade ago, we chose to move to Stoughton because we believed in the strength of our school district and fell in love with this wonderful community. My husband and I are proud parents of three Stoughton graduates. With a passion for fostering an equitable and inclusive environment, I am driven by a commitment to serve with joy and compassion. My goal is to uphold the rich traditions of Stoughton High School while embracing new opportunities for growth and continuous improvement. Partnerships with families are crucial to student success and together we can ensure that SHS students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Please feel free to reach out, share your thoughts, and let’s make this an amazing year of learning!"

River Bluff Middle School

Tamara Mouw steps into the role of Principal at River Bluff Middle School. Bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for education, Tamara is poised to lead the school in new and innovative directions. Joining her is Katie Sannes, who will serve as the Assistant Principal. Together, they aim to foster a supportive and enriching environment for both students and staff.

Tamara’s words:

"I come to the principalship at River Bluff Middle School with extensive teaching, administrative leadership, and supervisory experience. I am passionate about creating spaces where students, families, and staff are celebrated for their genius, spaces where they belong and thrive. I am most excited about cultivating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment that fosters academic achievement, personal growth, and social responsibility. By centering students’ humanity, we will raise overall achievement and close gaps of inequity. When I do not have my head in a book, I spend as much time as I can outdoors with my two dogs, Miles and Nia. I am an avid runner, hiker, biker, kayaker, golfer, pickle-ball player, skier, and all-around traveler. I am a mom, a daughter, a sister, an aunt. I am also a mindfulness and qigong practitioner."

Katie’s words:

"My name is Katie Sannes and I have been in education for 19 years. I was a Special Education Teacher for 14 years and then became Dean of Students at Kegonsa. I am excited about my opportunity as Assistant Principal at River Bluff as I will get to know new students, staff, and families as well as reunite with previous familiar faces."

Looking Ahead

The SASD community looks forward to the positive impact these leaders will have on their respective schools. With their combined expertise and dedication, the future looks bright for both SHS and RBMS. Welcome, Tamara, Katie, and Cassie!

Stay tuned for more updates as the new academic year unfolds and these leaders begin their journey.
