Greetings, My name is Dr. Amos K. Vaughn II, principal of Monee Elementary School and I welcome you back as we embark on the 2022-2023 school year.This is my third year as principal and was the assistant principal for 6 years. I’m excited that we will focus on school pride this year. Our district theme is “Proud to be a part of the U” and our school theme is “Proud to be a Mustang”. I am committed to empowering each child to positively impact the world for a brighter future. Along with Mrs. Chism, assistant principal, we will continue to ensure each student and staff member feels empowered, valued, and welcomed. In addition, we will provide a holistic approach to education that is equitable in nature and meets the needs of our diverse learners. I have worked in the field of education for over 20 years. My passion is to provide our children with the best educational experience and I believe I have been called for this purpose. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Business-FAMU, Masters of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction-University Of Phoenix, Masters of Arts in School Leadership-Concordia University-Chicago, and Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Concordia University-Chicago. Some of my hobbies include physical fitness, bodybuilding, traveling, conducting research, and positively influencing the lives of our next generation.

Dear Monee Elementary Families, My name is Nicole Chism, and I am the Assistant Principal of Monee Elementary School. I am excited to be starting my third year in this position, and am looking forward to continuing my partnership with Dr. Vaughn in making this a great school year! I have spent my entire professional career working with elementary school students. Prior to becoming the Assistant Principal, I was a classroom teacher for over twenty years, and spent my last two years in the classroom as the math specialist here at Monee Elementary. As the Assistant Principal, I am committed to working closely with teachers, parents and community members to ensure that our children achieve their full potential. I believe that open communication is key to ensuring that our students become productive, responsible, well-rounded citizens. I am truly excited about the 2022-23 school year!
