Dr. Annette Sauceda

Hello Heartland Jaguars! My name is Annette Sauceda and I am your proud principal. The 2025-26 school year marks my 23rd year in education and my 15th year in administration.

 

I was born and raised in Morgantown, West Virginia and earned my Bachelors and Masters degrees at West Virginia University. I then moved to Orlando, Florida and taught for three years before moving to Overland Park in 2006. I began my career in Blue Valley as a math teacher, School Improvement Specialist, Administrative Intern, Assistant Principal and now Principal. In 2007, I attended Baker University to receive my Administration license and completed my Doctorate in Educational Leadership in May 2017.

 
 
My husband, Tony, and I have 16-year-old twin boys, Miles & Keenan who will be 11th graders at Blue Valley West High School this year.  We also have two miniature dachshunds, Minnie and Oliver, and two chinchillas, Henry and Archer. Being an educator helps me be a better mom, and being a mom helps me be a better educator. We are ALL in this together!
 
 
Sincerely,
Dr. Sauceda
