Amy Neuenfeldt, the assistant principal at Indian Trails Middle School and 2021 Assistant Principal of the Year, has been chosen as the new principal of Wadsworth Elementary.

Flagler Schools Interim Superintendent LaShakia Moore recommended Neuenfeldt for the Wadsworth position, according to a Flagler Schools news release.

Neuenfeldt replaces Paul Peacock, whose contract the district opted not to renew after issuing him a formal reprimand following an internal investigation.

Neuenfeldt began her education career as a Wadsworth teacher in 2003 and also served as a reading coach and teacher support colleague over more than 14 years at the school. She then served as assistant principal at Indian Trails.

“My time at Wadsworth and the relationships I made there shaped me into the educator and administrator I am today,” Neuenfeldt said, according to the news release. “Students, teachers, staff, and parents will see me actively engaged as I do everything I can to promote this great campus. I know what a special place WES is, and now it’s time for our entire community to find that out.”
