Chris Kluck has been the principal at Netherwood Knoll Elementary School since the 2015-2016 school year. Prior to his position at Netherwood Knoll Elementary School, Chris was an elementary principal in the Waukesha School District, an assistant principal at Arrowhead High School, and taught math at Forest Park Middle School in the Franklin Public Schools.  Education is a second career for Chris, inspired by his wife's teaching in the Milwaukee Public Schools while Chris was working in banking after graduating from the UW-Madison School of Business. His wife Kelly now teaches second grade at Brooklyn Elementary School. They are both proud to be part of the Oregon community and cherish being close to their son, Andrew, a senior at UW-Madison. Chris is most passionate about supporting our Netherwood Knoll Elementary School learners, parents and staff to find their personal path to success. Please feel free to contact Chris with any questions, comments or concerns.
