Welcome to Wendell Elementary!
My name is Jysen Lancaster, and I am honored to serve as the new principal of Wendell Elementary School.
I have been an educator for 14 years, teaching and supporting students across multiple grade levels, and I am
deeply committed to fostering a positive, engaging, and safe learning environment where every child can thrive.
Wendell has always been home for me—I was born and raised here, and I’m proud to now raise my own family
in this incredible community. My children attend all three schools in our district, which gives me a unique perspective
as both an educator and a parent. I know firsthand the importance of strong school-family partnerships and the
difference they make in a child’s education.
As principal, my goal is to continue building on Wendell Elementary’s tradition of excellence while encouraging
curiosity, kindness, and resilience in every student. I believe that by working together—teachers, staff, parents,
and community—we can inspire a lifelong love of learning and prepare our students for success in the classroom
and beyond. I’m excited for the year ahead and grateful for the opportunity to serve the students and families of
Wendell. Let’s make it a great one!
