Dear Todd Beamer family and community members,

As the new Principal, I am excited to become a member of the Todd Beamer Community, and look forward to a terrific school year!

I come to the Beamer Community with a multitude educational experience. I began my teaching career here in Federal Way at both Lakeland and Enterprise Elementary Schools where I taught 5^th and 6^th grades for ten years. Following that I transitioned into the middle school level teaching grades 6-8 at both Illahee and Sequoyah Middle Schools. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to serve as the Assistant Principal of Giaudrone Middle School in the Tacoma School District and as the Principal at Olympic View Elementary. Most recently I served in the Office of the Superintendent as a Learning Improvement Officer where I supervised Principals in the Federal Way High School feeder pattern.  Over the course of my career I have had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with student scholars, parents, community members as educational staff K-12 in some capacity.

With that being said…let me change from “I” to “We”

We will be welcoming two new Assistant Principals to the Beamer Community. Crystal Emerson joins us from Kilo Middle School where she has served the last six years as the Assistant Principal of Kilo Middle School. Mrs. Emerson has a wealth of educational knowledge having been a classroom teacher, Dean of Students and Assistant Principal. Kynan Warren joins us from the Highline School District where he most recently served as Dean of Students. We will be working diligently this summer to prepare for an incredible year at Todd Beamer.

Todd Beamer is fortunate to have an amazing staff, scholar and parent community, and we look forward to continuing the work of this community. We will be working every day for every student scholar ensuring the district vision; “Each Scholar:  A Voice. A Dream. A Bright Future!

We know that we cannot do this work in isolation and we value your partnership and we look forward to meeting you at future events.

 In partnership,

Chris McCrummen
