Principal
My name is Sue Forcash and this is my 4th year as the Oak Prairie Junior High Principal. I am honored to be in this position and I’m eagerly anticipating another year of learning and excitement working with Oak Prairie students, staff, and families. Professionally, I have spent my career working with primarily 6th-12th grade students as a teacher and coach. Prior to Oak Prairie, I worked as an Assistant Principal at Crone Middle School in Naperville for 2 years. I also taught for 15 years in LaGrange District 102 and coached high school basketball at Lyons Township High School. I received my undergraduate degree from Knox College, and I hold a Masters Degree in both Curriculum and Instruction as well as Administration and School Leadership from National Louis University. Personally, I am married and have 2 children, ages 6 and 10, and I enjoy spending my free time with my family, watching or playing sports, reading, and spending time outdoors. As an educator, I find the junior high years to be pivotal in the development of children. It’s a time when they are learning who they are and making the transition from the elementary years in preparation for high school. Being a part of this journey is truly rewarding as we as parents, teachers, administrators, support staff, and students work together to make the experience memorable and enriching. I am looking forward to an awesome year at Oak Prairie! It’s a great day to be a Bulldog!
