The Lapeer Community Schools welcomes Traci Chouinard as the Acting Principal at Seaton Elementary School.
Mrs. Chouinard has worked as a teacher in the Lapeer Schools for the last six years and moves to her new job after serving as a second and third-grade teacher at Murphy Elementary School. She has also been a first-grade teacher at Mayfield Elementary and taught early fives and kindergarten at both Irwin and Hadley Elementary Schools.
She replaces Cindi Niblack, who retired at the end of the school year in June.
A lifelong resident of Lapeer County and a graduate of Lapeer East High School, Mrs. Chouinard earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Michigan-Flint and a master’s degree in elementary reading and literacy from Walden University. She also holds an associate’s degree in childhood development from Mott Community College.
Before she began her tenure with the Lapeer Community Schools she co-founded and, for seven years, served as the director of the Little Miracle Early Childhood Center in Metamora.
She and her husband, Chris, live in Metamora with their two children, Emily and Kyle. “As a family, we believe in supporting our community, and we’re involved in many activities.”
Second and third-graders in Mrs. Traci Chouinard's Murphy Elementary School classroom worked on scarves for special needs students at the Lapeer Intermediate School District's Education and Technology Center on Friday, December 11th.
