PLEASANT LAKE — A Trine University alumna recently became principal of Pleasant Lake
Elementary School.
Molly Floyd graduated from Tri-State University, now Trine University, in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.
She served as a fourth grade general education teacher at Hendry Park Elementary School in Angola from 2007-2008 before moving to Duncan Chapel Elementary School in Greenville, South Carolina, where she was a second grade general education teacher from 2008-2010.
She returned to Hendry Park in the fall of 2010, serving as Title I literacy teacher for third through fifth grades, and then as fifth grade general education teacher from 2011-2014. She then served as a guidance counselor and assistant principal at Hendry Park from 2014-2016.
She became principal at Pleasant Lake Elementary effective July 1.
“I have enjoyed my experience attending our local K-12 schools (Carlin Park Elementary School, Angola Middle School and Angola High School) as well as attending Trine University,” she said. “It is an honor to serve our community in this new capacity as principal of Pleasant Lake Elementary School. I look forward to the change and challenge.”
The Herald Republican reports that as the new principal of Pleasant Lake Elementary, Floyd will serve as the grand marshal of the Pleasant Lake Days parade on Aug. 13.
Erich Barlow, adjunct faculty member for TrineOnline and program matter expert for the university’s Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program, is quoted in a new InformationWeek article on data governance.
The Trine University Board of Trustees voted to add three distinguished university alumni to its membership at its January meeting.
A hero on the battlefield and the gridiron, Rocky Bleier said many people supported him on his journey and encouraged those at Trine University’s 21st annual Scholarship Gala to do the same for students.
