Katie Hayes Antelo ( Principal Coach)

Katie brings seventeen years of experience in schools and districts in the Mississippi Delta, Austin, and Minneapolis. She is grateful to have served students, teachers, and families as a teacher, assistant principal, founding middle school principal, head of schools, and chief academic officer. In her most recent roles, she coached principals and system leaders in public charters in Austin and Minneapolis through establishing new schools, ongoing growth, turnaround, and leading district-wide strategic initiatives and programs. In the spring of 2021, she transitioned to consulting, where she enjoys supporting leaders in a variety of school districts and contexts. Driven by an unwavering commitment to closing the opportunity gap, she works with love and gentle persistence to achieve a more just and equitable education system. Katie currently lives in Minneapolis where she enjoys the excitement of life with two very young children, doing most anything outside, and cooking and eating delicious food.
