Meet the Principal
Dear Wixom Elementary School Community,
It is with immense pride and enthusiasm that I introduce myself to you as the new Principal of Wixom Elementary School. My name is Taneia Giles, and I am truly honored to join this esteemed school community.
I come to you with a wealth of experience in education, spanning over two decades. I am a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana, I have called Michigan home for the past twenty-four years. My journey in education has been deeply fulfilling, and I am thrilled to bring my passion for learning and leadership to Wixom Elementary School.
For the past four years, I had the privilege of serving as Principal at Pattengill Elementary School, an experience that has prepared me well for the responsibilities and opportunities here at Wixom. My commitment to education extends beyond administrative roles; I have actively participated in teaching, mentoring, and guiding both students and staff throughout my career.
Education is not just my profession; it is my lifelong passion. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, dual Master’s Degrees in Educational Administration and Counseling, and I am currently pursuing my doctoral studies at Creighton University. My academic journey reflects my dedication to continuous learning and growth, values that I aim to instill within our school community.
As I step into my new role, my foremost goal is to foster a positive learning environment where equity, social-emotional development, and academic success are prioritized. I am committed to collaborating with all stakeholders—students, parents, staff, and the broader community—to ensure that every student at Wixom Elementary has the opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.
I am eager to uphold the rich traditions of Wixom Elementary School, building upon our strong foundation of community spirit and academic excellence. Together, we will continue to cultivate a school culture that celebrates diversity, encourages innovation, and nurtures a love for learning.
I look forward to meeting each of you and embarking on this exciting journey together. Thank you for your warm welcome, and I am honored to serve as your Principal.
Educationally Yours,
Taneia Giles, M.Ed, MA,LLPC
Mrs. Giles
