Sue McPeak selected as Ridgecrest principal

Dr. Sue McPeak has been selected as principal of Ridgecrest Elementary, Superintendent Sue Walker announced. Her appointment is subject to the approval of the Shoreline School Board.

Sue succeeds Cinco Delgado, who left Ridgecrest Elementary to accept an administrative position with the Marysville School District.

Sue has been a principal in the Issaquah School District since 2000, first at Clark Elementary and most recently at Challenger Elementary since 2009.

Her new position marks a return to Shoreline for Sue. She taught at Briarcrest Elementary in Shoreline from 1992 to 2000 and at North City from 1984 to 1991.

Sue received her doctorate of education in Instructional Leadership, a masters of education in School Administration and administrative certificate, and bachelor of arts in Psychology, all from Seattle Pacific University.

Sue’s father, the late Bud Hansen, was a teacher, principal and administrator in Shoreline from 1955 to 1985. He served as principal at Hamlin Park (1961-65), Cedarbrook (1965-69) and Sunset (1969-82) before retiring as director of elementary education.
