Gary Chesner
Gary Chesner was nominated for the West Suburban MESPA Division Leadership Achievement Award by his peers. The award honors principals whose exemplary leadership and sustained efforts have made noteworthy contributions to the operation of effective school learning programs --  improving education, their communities, and their profession.

MESPA members selected 12 of their peers to receive the 2009 MESPA Division Leadership Achievement Award, one from each MESPA division. “Great principals lead great schools. These men and women are leaders in our profession and truly represent the very best in Minnesota public schools. As leaders, we focus on the potential and possibilities to ignite hope within our schools,” said P. Fred Storti, MESPA executive director. 

In his principalship, Chesner follows this quotation: “We are all life long learners from the sandbox to the pine box.” (Jerry Hughes, former community educator and MN legislator). To read more about Gary, click here.
