Annie Hindeman
Principal Hindman grew up on a farm nestled between Moses Lake and Warden, Washington. Although she attended school in Moses Lake, the Warden community has always held a special place in her heart. Her mother’s long tenure at the local elementary school meant that many of her evenings and weekends were spent immersed in the educational environment, fostering a deep-rooted passion for learning and teaching.
With a degree in Law and Justice, Principal Hindman initially embarked on a career in the juvenile justice system. However, her desire to positively impact young lives led her to transition into the educational field, where she could help students navigate their paths and avoid the pitfalls of the justice system.
Most recently, Principal Hindman served as school counselor for 13 years, 8 of which in the Moses Lake School District. During her tenure, she was instrumental in establishing the Digital Learning Center and the MLSD Open Doors Program. These innovative schools were designed to provide supportive and engaging learning environments for students who struggled with traditional educational settings, helping them to stay engaged or re-engage with their education and achieve success.
Principal Hindman brings a wealth of experience, a deep commitment to student success, and a heartfelt connection to the community to her role as principal. She is dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every student can thrive.
“I am incredibly excited for my new role in the Warden school district community. I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for students, educators, and families. I value the importance of collaboration and support to foster a positive atmosphere for growth and learning.”
“As I embark on this journey, consider engaging with students, families, and staff to ensure that everyone feels heard and valued. Best of luck as you work towards achieving your goals in Warden Middle School!”
