Meet Our Team
Kyle White, Principal
I am the luckiest guy in the world to be married to my wife of 29 years, Jennifer! We are the proud parents of 3 children who have all benefited greatly from the education they received in the Maize school system; Gavin (25), Brielle (20) and Jaxon (15). Our family enjoys spending time together doing the things we love like vacationing, playing games and simply spending time together.
It has been my absolute honor to have spent the last 28 years as an educator in Maize USD 266! The first 10 years were spent enjoying teaching 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade at MES! I then spent the next 8 years learning from the best at Maize Central as I loved serving as the Assistant Principal. Then I was given what I feel is the opportunity of a lifetime to be the to return to MES as the Principal. I really enjoy helping shape our school's positive and student-focused culture. At MES we do our best!
Welcome to Maize Elementary School, where we truly are a family! It is our goal that staff and parents work in partnership together to do what is best for kids each day, and we're excited to witness all the growth they will make this year!
