Eden Prairie Schools has named Valora Unowsky as the new associate principal at Eden Lake Elementary School.
Mrs. Unowsky joins Eden Prairie from St. Paul Public Schools where she was the district’s Literacy Specialist. She supported teachers and principals at all of the district’s elementary schools. Previously, she was a continuous learning specialist in Minneapolis Public Schools and a literacy coach in St. Paul Public Schools. She has been a teacher in Hopkins Public Schools, ARAMCO Schools in Saudia Arabia and Annunciation School in Minneapolis. Unowsky is an adjunct instructor at Augsburg College and has been a consultant and presenter on literacy topics.
She earned her Education Specialist degree from Mankato University; a Master’s degree in educational leadership from Drake University; and a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education from St. Catherine University.
“We’re thrilled to bring Valora into the Eden Prairie Schools family,” said Eden Lake Principal Tim Beekmann. “Her proven instructional leadership will immediately benefit our students and staff.”
Unowsky starts at Eden Lake Elementary later this month.
