Principal's Letter

Welcome to West Wing School, home of the Mustangs!  Nestled in a picturesque mountain backdrop, West Wing School embraces the opportunity to challenge today’s students to achieve excellence through strong academics, athletics, and the arts.  Our cohesive, collaborative staff provide opportunities to engage students on their educational journey while simultaneously creating a supportive, inclusive classroom environment.  In addition to core content, students are provided the opportunity to learn advanced technology skills, a love for the arts through Choir, Band and Art, as well as opportunities to develop their physical aptitude.  West Wing Students enjoy participating in before and after school clubs and classes ranging from Choir and Student Council to Yearbook or Cross Country.  Middle School students have additional opportunities to play on competitive sports teams throughout the year.

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-two 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.
