MEET THE PRINCIPAL

Hi Everyone!  My name is Jodie Dupuy and I am SO excited to be working as the interim principal at Monroe, Morse, Troy, and Walker Schools! I know we will have an amazing rest of the year filled with learning, and growing…with a little (or a lot) of fun thrown in!  

So a little about me and my educational background…

I have been working for RSU 3 since 2001 and I am so happy I took a chance and accepted a position as the music teacher at 3 amazing schools in Waldo County. Though I came from away, the community quickly accepted me as one of their own and I have been here ever since. In addition to teaching music, I have had the opportunity to support the district as a Technology Integrator, an Academic and Behavioral Interventionist, and most recently as the Dean of Students.  While working for RSU 3 I continued to pursue my education at UMF and in 2020 I graduated with a Masters in Educational Leadership. As a lifelong learner, I wasn’t done and returned to UMF to become certified as an administrator and received that certificate in 2022.  When the opportunity arose for me to become the Interim Principal I was beyond excited. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to grow as an educational leader in the community that I call home.

3 Fun Facts About Me….

  1. I have two amazing sons…Thomas and Andrew.

  2.  I have an eleven-year-old Chiweenie named Stitch and a cat named Sal

  3. I adopted a penguin and named him Rip Wheeler.
