EPS Principal Nominated for LifeChanger of the Year

ENID, OK - Scott Allen, Monroe Elementary principal, has been nominated for LifeChanger of the Year. He was nominated by his colleague and the parent of a student, Traci Conrady.
-
Five years ago, Mr. Allen walked through the doors of Monroe Elementary with great hopes of transforming a school that was in need of support. Test scores were low and attendance was poor. His plans included strategies for serving a growing population of English language learners as well as providing support to students and families struggling in poverty, abuse, and trauma.

"Elementary schools are short on positive male role models. I closely watch the strength of character he exhibits while working with challenging students and situations," said Conrady. "On any given day, Mr. Allen makes hard, important decisions that can impact the lives of students and families in our community. His previous experience as a middle school teacher and coach serve him well."
