New Principal Announcement

New Principal Announcement

Dear Klenk Community, 

I’m so honored to introduce myself to you as the new principal of Klenk Elementary. I have been a member of the Klein Family for nearly 20 years and started my administrative career in the Klein Forest Family of Schools as an assistant principal right here at Klenk Elementary. Most recently, I have served as the principal of Nitsch Elementary, and I look forward to bringing my experiences to Klenk as we work to ensure that every student is successful. 

I’m a student-focused leader, and I believe in taking good care of people and working together for the greater good of our students. I’m excited to work alongside Klenk’s staff to continue strengthening the relationship between home and school and to partner with our students’ families to set high expectations and aspirational goals for our students. 

Collaboration is key, and together we will discover the most meaningful and impactful ways to meet our students’ needs. I’m eager to begin this important work with you and celebrate the progress we make as we move forward together.

Please be on the lookout for communication from me throughout the summer as we get ready for an excellent 2025-2026 school year. I am certain great things are ahead as we work together for our Klenk Cougars!

Sincerely,
Frank Ward
Klenk Elementary Principal
