North Platte Public Schools Associate Superintendent Tami Eshleman and Superintendent Marty Basset have announced the new principal for Osgood and Lake Elementary Schools.

Following an intense interview process with district administrators, an elementary principal, building staff and teachers, Robin Vahle will be recommended to the North Platte Public Schools Board of Education to fill the position.

Vahle has a Bachelor of Arts in Education, and a Masters in Art Education and K-12 Administration, all of which were obtained from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

She has 15 years of experience as a K-12 Art teacher in Elm Creek.

“Robin is excited for the opportunity to be a part of North Platte Public Schools,” Eshleman said.

Vahle will replace long-time educator and administrator, Dr. Midge Mougey, who will be retiring at the end of the year.

“She [Vahle] will be working with Dr. Mougey through the transition,” Eshleman added.

Vahle has a current Nebraska certification for teaching and administration.

She will be making the move to North Platte with her husband, Mark, and their daughter, Addyson, who will be starting kindergarten in the fall.
