Meet our New Head of School

The search for a new Head of School for Truxton Academy Charter School is over. We are pleased to announce Kerryanne Schenck has accepted the position and is starting today.

The Head of School hiring committee reviewed and interviewed several qualified candidates. It was not an easy decision, but in the end Mrs. Schenck’s agricultural background along with her educational experience and commitment to community proved to be the best fit for Truxton Academy.

Mrs. Schenck has 23 years of experience as a music teacher, at all levels in a wide variety of school settings. She worked in corporate America as well and brings those skills to her work as an administrator. Most recently she worked in Buffalo as an interim Assistant Principal at a charter middle school. Mrs. Schenck is a mother of four children, one aged 23 and triplets who are 16. She lives on a horse farm in Mexico, NY and in her spare time she shows miniature horses and Shetland ponies. Mrs. Schenck is very excited to join the Truxton Academy family and to continue to grow towards our mission.
