DANA MCLINN

I began my career in the Two Rivers School District in the Fall of 1999 after teaching in Milwaukee Public Schools. For the first two years, I taught Title 1 Reading at Koenig Elementary. Then I co-taught in a Koenig First Grade classroom from 2002 until 2010, where I then became Dean of Students. I am currently on my 11th year year as Principal of Koenig Elementary. I am very proud to say Koenig is a fourteenth year  "Title One School of Recognition!" I am very proud of our staff, students and families for their dedication to building strong schools! My 22 years here at Koenig have truly been wonderful as I have been blessed to work with so many caring and dedicated colleagues and community members. Our goal is to redefine our practices to have a better understanding of ways in which every child is afforded the belief, guidance and encouragement that creates a sense of hope and optimism, supported by a course of action needed to experience success. All children are capable of success-NO EXCEPTIONS! 

Educational Background:

Two Rivers High School 1990 graduate. BA in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Master's Degree in Literacy from Walden University in 2005. Licensure in Educational Administration from Concordia University in 2010.

Did you know?

I am a Raider fan through and through since graduating from Washington High School.

I enjoy watching Packer football and being a season ticket holder! Go Pack Go! 

I visit Three Lakes, WI  every summer to enjoy fishing with my family, reading and relaxing with friends and walking the trails!  

I have one child, Adaya, who is a freshman at the University of South Dakota studying kineseology. We also have welcomed Remy, a lopso-poo, who is a wonderful addition! 

I grew up in Milwaukee but love raising my child in the Two Rivers community. It is the best place on the Lakeshore!
