School Leadership

Meredith Stolte is honored to serve as High Point Academy’s Executive Director.  She has been in education for over 21 years, as a teacher, instructional coach, school leadership coach, and district leader. Meredith earned her bachelor’s degree from Dickinson College, her master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University, and her Administration and Supervision certification from The College of Notre Dame. Meredith is passionate about applying what she has learned from schools all over the country to create a learning environment that is joyful, engaging, and truly prepares them to be leaders, both now and in the future.  She believes there is genius that lies in every student, and school should be a place where students utilize their strengths to learn, build their confidence to try new things they could become amazing at, and learn the power and importance of positive relationships.  When she is not at school, Meredith enjoys being outside, hiking with her family and reading.

Greetings! I am excited to be joining the High Point Academy team as the Assistant Principal of grades 3-5. I have been in education for over a decade and a half, working in all settings and positions. In conjunction with working within an educational setting, I absolutely love working as a community advocate to ensure that education is equitable for all, and progressing to meet the needs of students, and families. I am committed to cultivating a joyous, safe, and engaging academic learning environment. I’m an avid learner that centers much of my life on relationships, and reaching for the impossible. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, and friends, traveling, exercising and dancing.  I’m originally from a small town, Fort Dodge in Iowa. One of my favorite titles is  being a Momtie (Mommy + Auntie) to my beautiful, ever growing niece. I am enjoying relearning Spanish, and American Sign Language with the hopes of being a fluent speaker soon. Last but not least, I am obsessed with the 4s: soup, smoothies, sushi, and salads. I am honored and look forward to working with your child (ren), and you to ensure that their growth is happening inside and outside of the classroom.

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the Equity and Family Service Coordinator for this year. With 15 years of experience as an educator, including nearly a decade at HPA, I bring a wealth of knowledge, passion, and dedication to my role.

One of my core values is advocacy. I am a strong advocate for staff, scholars, and families, and I strive to ensure that their voices are heard and their needs are met. Through an equitable lens, I work tirelessly to promote fairness, inclusivity, and justice in all aspects of education.

Equity and inclusion are at the heart of my work. I am dedicated to playing a major role in fostering a foundation of love for learning among scholars. My goal is to empower them, providing a safe space for growth and understanding. I firmly believe in the power of teachable moments, strategic planning, and collaborative relationships to drive positive change and create a nurturing learning environment. I am excited to embark on this journey, working hand in hand with staff, scholars, and families to build a community that values diversity, embraces inclusivity, and celebrates the achievements of every individual.

When I’m not loving on your kiddos, you can catch me spending time with my husband and 6 children, crafting, or cooking with an emphasis on eating!

Hello! I’m Steven Roland Jr and it’s a blessing to be here serving as the K-5th grade Dean.
