Ms. Haslacker brings over 14 years of teaching experience and 7 years of administrative leadership in the Grand Rapids area. Most recently, she served as the lead principal at River City Scholars Charter Academy for the past three years. She’s also held roles as an assessment coordinator and Dean of Intervention & Special Education.

With a Master’s in the Art of Teaching focused on ESL (K-12) and a passion for data-driven leadership, Ms. Haslacker is dedicated to keeping your children at the heart of every decision. Her focus on creating a supportive and inclusive environment ensures that all students and families feel valued and empowered.

Outside of work, Ms. Haslacker is a proud mom of four children, ranging in age from 7 to 21, giving her unique insights as both an educator and a parent. She loves reading, gardening, and home improvement projects, and enjoys Michigan summers kayaking, camping, and relaxing near the water with her family.

We’re excited to have a leader who understands the importance of family-school partnerships and is committed to helping every child thrive. I’m confident Ms. Haslacker will be an incredible addition to our TCE community, and we know you will love getting to know her.
