(Versailles, Ind.) - The principal at South Ripley Elementary School is the District 10 Elementary Principal of the Year.

Amy Linkel was announced as the top elementary principal in the region by the Indiana Association of School Principals. There are 12 IASP regions across the state.

This is Linkel’s second time winning an IASP award. She also received the District 10 Assistant Principal of the Year honor in 2012, when she was assistant principal at South Ripley Elementary.

Under her leadership, South Ripley Elementary earned an A on its 2017-2018 school year report card from the Indiana Department of Education.

District 10 is located in southeast Indiana and is made up of Dearborn, Decatur, Fayette, Franklin, Hancock, Jennings, Ripley, Rush, Shelby and Union Counties.
