Dear Jackson Community,

I am pleased to share with you that I have selected a leader for our new Hmong Language and Culture Middle School at Parkway. Please join me in welcoming Veu Thor as this school’s new principal beginning in the 2022-23 school year.

Principal Thor brings a wealth of experience, having served Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) for more than two decades as a bilingual educator, classroom teacher, assistant principal, and most recently, as principal at Jackson Elementary School. Principal Thor looks forward to partnering with families, students, staff and the community to begin the great work of starting the first Hmong middle school in the United States.

Please join me in congratulating Principal Thor on his new role beginning in the 2022-23 school year.  

In partnership,

Joe Gothard
Superintendent
