On April 22, the Elmbrook Board of Education approved the promotion of Emily Greiber to the position of Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning and Mekenna Ellis to the position of Director of Elementary Education.

"We take immense pride in the talent we've nurtured within our organization," reflected Superintendent Mark Hansen. "Emily and Mekenna have flourished, expanding their influence as leaders in literacy and education not only within our community but also across the broader region.”

Greiber, who has been with Elmbrook Schools since 2013 and previously held the role of Director of Elementary Education, will now step into the Assistant Superintendent position. Her tenure has been marked by successful implementations of new elementary curricula and resources. Before joining Elmbrook, Greiber held various administrative and teaching roles in Greenfield (WI) and Dysart Unified (AZ) School Districts.

Ellis, who joined Elmbrook Schools in 2018 and served as the Director of Early Literacy, will take over Greiber's former position. Prior to working at Elmbrook, Ellis gained experience as a Reading Specialist, Literacy Coach, and elementary teacher in different school districts.

Both Emily and Mekenna were recognized alongside their team for their work with science-based reading in 2023. The changes will be effective July 1, 2024, with Greiber replacing Dr. Tanya Fredrich, who is leaving to become the next Superintendent of Monona Grove.

"We are excited to welcome Emily and Mekenna into their new roles," concluded Superintendent Mark Hansen.
