My name is MacKenzie Lehn and I have been the principal at Northome School since 2020. I am very proud of our school and grateful to lead such incredible individuals.

Prior to becoming a Principal I was an elementary classroom teacher, special education teacher and special education administrator in the Anoka Hennepin School District. These positions provided me with the experience and passion that I need in order to be an effective school leader.

My goal is for every student that walks in our doors to feel valued, loved and know that they are capable of hard things. As a principal, it is my mission to ensure that the specific needs of every student are met in order for them to be successful. Northome School strives for academic success for all students in a positive and supportive learning environment. Our school is not only a place to get an education, but a positive environment where relationships are built to last a lifetime. 

In my free time I enjoy gardening, fishing, hunting, four wheeling and working out. Most of the time you can find me doing something outside or with my family! I have two black, British Labs named Axel and Finley. They are two very spoiled pups that keep me on my toes!
