Mrs. Shelly Schubert
I attended Northern Arizona University where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education with a minor in Library Science. I began my career as a teacher-librarian at a school that served students with diverse academic needs. I then moved to the classroom where I spent many years teaching all subjects in fifth, seventh, and eighth grades. Over the years that I was a classroom teacher, I earned my gifted endorsement and then became a full-time gifted specialist. My journey then led me to achieve my Masters of Educational Leadership from Grand Canyon University and shortly after, I served as an assistant principal at Sierra Verde STEAM Academy for three years. I served as Deer Valley Online Academy's first principal, serving over 3,600 students during the pandemic! I proudly returned to West Wing School in 2021 as the principal. I’ve been fortunate to have many varied experiences over my twenty-three years as an educator, which have allowed me to gain many perspectives and enhanced my leadership capacity.
There is no doubt in my mind that our parent community is integral to the success of our students and school. I believe in building strong relationships with each student and their family, and with the dedicated staff that has made West Wing the award-winning school it is!
I am a committed advocate for all students and I believe it is my most important endeavor as a school leader. I will ensure that students continue to be at the center of every decision at West Wing School.
