Hello and welcome!

I’m Mrs. Chelsea Bush, proud Principal of Arthur O. Eve School of Distinction, where we center creativity, connection, and early excellence every single day. As a school leader, wife, and mom of twins, I believe deeply in nurturing both the minds and hearts of young children, and I’m honored to serve as your partner on this journey.

My educational career began in 2014 when I taught 5th grade at Grabriarz School of Excellence, where I cultivated a love for student-centered instruction and academic rigor. In 2018, I became an Instructional Coach at Early Childhood Center 82, supporting teachers in creating developmentally rich and engaging classroom environments. In 2021, I joined Arthur O. Eve School of Distinction as Assistant Principal, and in April 2025, I had the honor of being named Principal of this extraordinary school.

I bring to this work a background in collaborative leadership, a strong commitment to family engagement, and a deep belief that early learning should be joyful, inclusive, and empowering. I also bring a lifelong passion for the arts. With an extensive background in dance, I have experienced firsthand the power of the arts to build confidence, creativity, and community, values that are deeply embedded in our school culture. Arthur O. Eve School of Distinction is proud to be the only early childhood center in the district with a fully embedded arts integration model, and I’m committed to expanding that work as we prepare students for college and career readiness from their very first school experiences.

Academically, I hold a B.S. in Arts and Humanities from Buffalo State College, a M.S.Ed in Elementary Education from Medaille College, and a Certificate in School Building Leadership from Canisius College. My experiences in both the arts and education have shaped the way I lead, with purpose, vision, and heart. My door is always open, and I welcome your ideas, questions, and partnership.

Together, let’s make this school year inspiring and unforgettable.

Warmly,

Mrs. Bush

Principal, Arthur O. Eve School of Distinction
