Peyton Bray
Sarah is a compassionate, consistent, and growth-focused school leader. She makes her faculty feel supported as she guides them towards the school’s vision. She proactively looks for was to improve and diversify curricula, and creates an environment where students, teachers, and parents feel safe to explore the difficult issues that face us all today. Sarah Peeden is one of the finest educators and leaders I have ever worked with.
Carwai Seto (she/her)
Sarah is a dynamic and engaged community member and leader. She jumps in with both feet and is willing to do the hard work necessary to create growth and change. I value the way she asks questions and digs deep to unearth the underlying issues so that her work is meaningful and impactful. Sarah is humble and knows how to ask for help and seek guidance when needed. One of Sarah's great powers is that she listens intently and is empathetic. There is a need for leadership that can be the voice of their constituents and stand by making hard decisions for the greater good, and Sarah possesses the traits and skills to be that leader.
