Dr. Chris Kamrath
Principal
Greetings families! My name is Chris Kamrath and I am honored to be the new principal at Westside Elementary! As I have shared with family and friends that I am coming to Westside, I have heard nothing but amazing stories of a wonderful staff and a great community.
I am originally from Chetek, WI. My father was a teacher and I knew at a young age I wanted to follow in his footsteps and impact the lives of youth. Fast forward a few years and this will be my 13th year in education. I taught for 7 years, which included time as a 4th grade classroom teacher and Title One interventionist. My first year of teaching was right in River Falls at St. Bridget's. It is fun how life has brought us back. I have been an elementary principal for the past 5 years, with the past 4 being in Somerset. My wife, Sonja, and I have been married for 12 years and we are privileged to be the parents of 3 boys: Miles (9), Luke (7), and Charlie (4). We are currently living in Somerset, but the boys are excited to join me at Westside, once we are able to sell our home.
In my time in education I have learned that the people are what makes this profession so rewarding. The students, parents, staff, and community members make me excited to come to work each day. I look forward to serving this school and community for many years to come.
