Terrie Price, Principal

Hello, I’m Terrie Price, principal at Pleasant Hill Elementary.  It is very exciting to be a part of such a wonderful school with great students, staff, and parents.  My motto is “What’s Best for Kids-Whatever It Takes!” 

Some background information on me.  I enjoyed my 18 years of growing up on a farm getting to bale hay, walk beans, ride my pony, and show animals at the fair.  In my spare time I loved to drive my go-cart and swim. My teen years were busy with school, sports, and working at Hy-Vee.   I graduated from Rockford, Iowa High School in 1986.  I attended Simpson College in Indianola from 1986-1990, a reading endorsement from Drake in 1992, and my masters in educational administration in 2001, from UNI.  I will be starting my nineteenth year of education this year.  I taught grades 2, 4, and 5, for eleven years.  During my teaching career I was also an athletic coach for track, softball, basketball, volleyball, and cross-country.  I have been a principal for seven terrific years.  I believe learning should be fun and challenging. Our kids are WORTH IT!

 I have a very active and fun family.  My husband, Steve, is a teacher at Summit Elementary in Johnston and assistant high school wrestling coach.  I have two sons, Travis, a 6th grader and Zach, a third grader.  My boys are runners, soccer players, baseball  players, and wrestlers!  We like to run 5K road races as a family!   I also am busy in the church, love to go to movies, and work in my yard.  

 Please remember that my door is always open and our Pleasant Hill School is great because of our families!
