Greetings, my name is Kristin Mazur, and I am delighted to be a part of the Pfc. WIlliam J. Grabiarz School of Excellence #79 family and serve as your new principal. Our school community has dedicated, talented members committed to doing what is in the best interest of our students. We will continue to put students first at Grabiarz and work diligently to ensure their success.  

My professional background is rooted in education and leadership. For the past twenty-four years, I have worked in public education as a leader, teacher and data coach.  I look forward to using these collective experiences as your new principal. 

In addition to my professional achievements, my greatest accomplishment is my family. I am a wife to my loving, supportive husband and a mother to three amazing children. As a parent, I always want what is best for my children and will work tirelessly to ensure your children have the best possible experiences at Grabiarz School of Excellence. 

As we close out the school year, I am taking advantage of this time to get to know your child(ren) and the staff. This summer, I plan to work closely with Mr. Ryndak, Mrs. Volious, and the Grabiarz family to ensure a smooth transition.

During this time, I will learn more about our school, community, and the unique needs of our students and staff. I am committed to embracing the positive traditions and practices that are already in place at Grabiarz School of Excellence while working diligently to ensure success for the future. My motto is, "Students First, Every Day," and I believe all children should receive an exemplary education in an environment that is safe and conducive to learning. Together we can help our children excel and provide them with an education that is second to none. 

I am honored and humbled to serve as the new principal for Pfc. William J. Grabiarz School of Excellence #79 and look forward to working with our children, teachers, parents, and community members. My door is always open to you, and I sincerely welcome your input and support. I am excited about all we will accomplish together for our children and look forward to celebrating our collective success this school year.  

Kind Regards, 

Kristin Y. Mazur
