Crafton Elementary has a familiar face, Jennie Dyerly as the schoolâs new principal.
The Redlands Unified School District announced Dyerlyâs hiring in November. Previously, she served as interim principal at Crafton after Patti Buchmiller moved to the district office to serve as executive director of special services.
Dyerlyâs new position at Crafton is just the latest in a lifelong career in education.
âIâve always wanted to be a teacher,â she said. âMy high school and college jobs always worked with kids. I was a lifeguard, taught swim lessons, tutored and worked in day care. My love was education.
