Brenda Pfeifer, Assistant Principal

I am proud to serve as the assistant principal at Maize Central Elementary. Throughout my tenure, I have had experience as a teacher and administrator in various buildings and grade levels; however, working at MCE the past eleven years has been a definite highlight of my career. One of my favorite parts of each day is greeting students when they enter the building. Their excitement and genuine enthusiasm is contagious! When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and supporting them in their endeavors. Email Mrs. pfeifer
