Principal

Nancy Johnson

Hello Woodmoor! My name is Nancy Johnson and I am the Principal at Woodmoor Elementary. I received my degree in special education from Vanderbilt University and spent 21 years teaching in special education and general education settings. We moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2016 where I taught before moving into an administration position after earning my Masters in Educational Leadership from the University of Montana. My husband and I have five grown children scattered around the country. We are mostly empty nesters- but have two golden retrievers who keep us busy! We love anything outdoors and always ask ourselves what took so long to move to this wonderful part of the country! Please feel free to contact me at njohnson@nsd.org or by phone 425-408-5605.

My name is Rachelle Gardner and I am excited to be joining Woodmoor Elementary as your new Assistant Principal. I am from Spokane, Washington but have lived in Kenmore for the last 17 years. I attended the University of Washington where I received both my teaching certification and administrative credentials. I spent 13 years in Seattle Schools as a first-grade teacher, reading interventionist, Levy coordinator, and Assistant Principal before moving to Lockwood where I've been the Assistant Principal for the past three years. I enjoy being in the Northshore School District as both an educator and a parent. I have two sons, one of which will be a first grader at Lockwood next year. Family is everything to me, and I look forward to becoming a part of the Woodmoor family this coming year.

I’m so excited to be your new Early Childhood Coordinator! Throughout my 14 years in Northshore I’ve spent most of it as a School Psychologist working at the elementary and early childhood levels, and also have experience a Special Education Director. Most of my time outside of work is spent with my husband, two children, and our Golden Retriever, with my friends at brunch, binge watching all the shows, or snuggled up with a book. I am passionate about collaboration, inclusive practices, and family partnerships and am excited to be a part of the Early Childhood community.
