Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community.
This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to present the “Excellence in Education Award” to:
Ruth E. Maegli
Ms. Ruth E. Maegli, a product of Milwaukee Public Schools having attended Alcott Elementary, Alexander Bell Jr. High School, and Hamilton High School, has dedicated 33.8 years of service to Milwaukee Public Schools. She started her career in Milwaukee Public Schools working for the recreation department at playgrounds and Palmyra camp. Ruth Maegli taught at Siefert, 24th Street, 65th Street, Vieau, Engleburg, and 35th Street elementary schools. She was an assistant principal at Bryant Elementary and the principal at Garland, Whittier, and Elm Creative Arts Schools. She moved to Central Services to accept the position of Project Director of the GE grant and became the Chief of Innovation and finally Chief Academic Officer.
Ruth Maegli was one of the first four administrators in Wisconsin to receive the Master Educators License from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. She was also recognized by the State Superintendent as an outstanding teacher.
One of her memorable accomplishments was earning the National Blue Ribbon Award with the staff and students at Garland Elementary School. Garland was nominated by the Wisconsin Department of Instruction for closing the gap and moving proficiency to 90 percent.
Ruth is involved in a number of boards including, Junior Achievement, UPAF, Secure Futures, Board of Visitors - UWM, and the Leadership Council for Milwaukee Succeeds. She is also involved in her church as well as the Loose Bead Society of Greater Milwaukee.
Ruth E. Maegli has had an immeasurable impact not only on the members of the MPS family, but on the Milwaukee community by being involved in food drives, sock drives, book drives, and monetary collections for many local organizations. We are grateful for her and all that she has given to MPS and the greater MPS community.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognize and honor Ruth E. Maegli, for her dedication, outstanding leadership, and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
