My name is Jennifer Metzger and I feel very honored to serve the Kahoa Community as the Assistant Principal. Previously, I was the Instructional Coordinator at Norwood Park Elementary, and the Instructional Coach at Hartley Elementary. I taught at the Zeman community in Fourth Grade. Prior to Zeman, I taught 1st and 2nd grades at Elliott Elementary. I also, had the opportunity to begin my career with Lincoln Public Schools as a substitute and special education para-educator. I am passionate about learning and look forward to collaborating with students, staff, and parents at Kahoa.
