Principal's Corner

Jennifer Hacker has been the very proud principal of the Stanley Elementary School for the last sixteen years! Prior to becoming an administrator in Waltham, Jennifer worked as a literacy coach for five years. Before Waltham, she worked in the Chelsea Public Schools as a Kindergarten teacher and Literacy Coach. Growing up in Burlington MA and attending Burlington High School and Tufts University, Jennifer always knew she wanted to be a principal. She is so happy to be part of the Stanley community.

When Jennifer is not at Stanley, she spends her time with her family. Jennifer is married with two college aged children. CJ is a senior at Merrimack College and Bella is at Hobart Williams Smith College in Geneva, NY.

Erika Walther is the proud Assistant Principal of the Stanley Elementary School. She has worked in Waltham her whole career. Prior to becoming an administrator, she was a Grade 3 teacher, as well as a Title One teacher. Growing up in CT, Erika had the opportunity to get to know the Waltham community when she was in college and completed her student teaching practicum. Erika received a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Elementary Education from Regis College in 2001, a Master of Arts in Teaching in 2004 from Regis College, and a Master of Education in Organizational Management from Endicott College in 2012.  Erika loves Stanley, and it is truly her home away from home!
