It is with joy and pride that I announce Ann Riemenschneider as the next principal of Chute Middle School! Ms. Riemenschneider has been a key part of the Chute community since she began teaching language arts and math at Chute in 1994. Now in her 16th year as Assistant Principal, Ms. Riemenschneider is committed to fostering a culture of collective excellence. I’m grateful for her consistent leadership and am thrilled to see her step into this new role for the Chute community. Her appointment was approved by the School Board at Monday’s meeting and will go into effect on July 1, 2025.
