Bridgit Reichel
Nadine Johnson Elementary Principal
Nadine Johnson Elementary Principal Bridgit Reichel motivates her students and staff to be the best versions of themselves—to shoot for the moon and to set growth-minded goals. She has a natural charm that captivates the community and determination for excellence that positively impacts the campus daily. Mrs. Reichel brings a wealth of knowledge to Hippo Nation that is invaluable. New to Texas, born and raised in Washington state; she is embracing the lone star state with open arms.
Growing up in a single-parent home, she admits there were challenges. However, despite the hardships, she always trusted the adults around her. She knew she had a “village” that cared for her and wanted to see her meet her true potential despite the hardships. Her village made a difference in her life and shaped her into who she is today. They taught her that hard work pays off no matter what obstacle is in front of you.
She finds peace in the great outdoors, hiking, gardening, and being one with nature. It was only natural for her campus to have the theme of HERE WE GROW, to be a marigold. Someone who is there to support the growth of the entire garden.
Talking to Mrs. Reichel you realize she is extremely passionate about the success of her students. She is out and about daily, telling teachers and substitutes how much she appreciates them and the work they are doing. She makes everyone who comes on campus feel welcome and a part of the village.
