Assistant Principal

Dear Jaggard Elementary School Community,

As we begin a new school year, I am excited to introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal at Jaggard Elementary School. While this is my first year at Jaggard, it is my second year serving the Evesham Township School District. I am grateful for the opportunity to become part of the Jaggard community and look forward to getting to know our students, staff, and families throughout the year.  I will also continue serving as Assistant Principal at Marlton Elementary School, where I had the privilege of spending my first year in Evesham. 

Prior to being an Assistant Principal, I have had the opportunity to teach 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, with the majority of my classroom experience as a 5th grade teacher. These experiences have shaped my belief that strong relationships, collaboration, and a positive school culture are at the heart of student success. As an administrator, I remain committed to being visible, approachable, and supportive while helping create an environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and empowered to succeed.

I am especially excited to work alongside Mr. Fox and the entire Jaggard staff. I look forward to learning from the many dedicated educators who make Jaggard such a wonderful school and contributing to the continued success of our students. My goal is to be a supportive partner to our staff and families and to help ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

On a personal note, my family continues to be an important part of who I am and influences the way I approach my work as an educator and leader. My wife is a fifth grade teacher, and we have been married for ten years. We have two daughters, Annalyse, who is seven, and Lexi, who is four. As a family, we enjoy traveling, spending time at the beach, and skiing during the winter months. I am also a proud Phillies fan and enjoy going to games whenever I can!

I am truly excited to begin this new chapter at Jaggard Elementary School. I look forward to meeting our students and families, building relationships with our staff, and becoming part of the Jaggard community. I am grateful for the warm welcome I have already received and cannot wait to see all that we accomplish together this year.

Warmly,
Bill Leonardo
Assistant Principal
