Dear Kenyon Woods Middle School Students and Parents/Guardians,
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Rebecca Gabrenya has been selected to take on the role of principal at Kenyon Woods Middle School beginning with the 2025-26 school year.
With nearly 20 years of experience in education, she seeks to build a school community that is positive, collaborative, and engages in continuous improvement to support all teachers and students to grow and achieve at the highest levels.
For the last four school years, Dr. Gabrenya has been the principal of Marquardt Middle School in Glendale Heights, part of Marquardt School District 15. She managed a construction project that included the addition of a library, fitness center, and classrooms, and remodels of the main gym and lunch area. She was responsible for evaluating more than 70 certified staff members and led social-emotional work that resulted in a 20 percent decrease in referral data.
Prior to becoming principal at Marquardt Middle School, she was its assistant principal for six years. Before moving into building administration, she was in the classroom at Marquardt for nearly 10 years, teaching 7th and 8th grade science, 8th grade social studies, reading invention and math intervention, among other subjects.
Dr. Gabrenya holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, with a middle school endorsement, from Eastern Illinois University. She earned two master’s degrees in education from Benedictine University — one as reading/literacy specialist and the other in leadership and administration. In 2020, she earned her doctoral degree in leadership in education administration from Aurora University.
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Gabrenya on her new role at Kenyon Woods Middle School.
Sincerely,
Julie Shumaker
Executive Director of Middle Schools
School District U-46

Durante los últimos cuatro años escolares, la Dra. Gabrenya ha sido la Directora de la Escuela Intermedia Marquardt en Glendale Heights, parte del Distrito Escolar 15 de Marquardt. Dirigió un proyecto de construcción que incluía la adición de una biblioteca, un gimnasio y clases, así como la remodelación del gimnasio principal y del área de almuerzo.

Antes de pasar a la administración del edificio, fue maestra durante casi 10 años en Marquardt, dando clases de Ciencias de 7º y 8º grado, Estudios Sociales de 8º grado, Lectura, y Matemáticas, entre otras materias.
La Dra. Gabrenya tiene un Bachillerato en Educación Elemental, con un certificado de escuela intermedia, de la Universidad de Eastern Illinois.

Por favor ayudenme a felicitar a la Dra. Gabrenya por su nuevo puesto en la Escuela Intermedia Kenyon Woods.
