Dr. Jodi Oliver

Henry Elementary School Principal

I'm Dr. Oliver, and I’m excited to begin my 25th year in education and my 4th year as the principal at Henry Elementary. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th grades in several school districts—including right here in Parkway—and even spent some time teaching in Utah. This year marks my 12th year as an elementary principal, and 15th year in administration, a role I find incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.

Outside of school, I’m married to my husband, Adam, who works in the IT field. At home, we share our lives with two wonderful (and sometimes mischievous) dogs—Marley, our loyal beagle, and Mabel, our basset hound. Mabel is just over four years old and still manages to use her “puppy stage” as a daily excuse for her antics!

In our free time, we enjoy traveling, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and Blues, spending time outdoors, and listening to music.

I’m looking forward to another great year at Henry and can’t wait to partner with you to support our students!
