A Message from Our Principal

Meet Mr. Dan Amore

“It is with an overwhelming sense of pride and honor that I have the privilege of introducing myself as the Principal of McGregor Elementary.”

Dan Amore, Principal of McGregor Elementary

Proud to Serve This Community

It is with an overwhelming sense of pride and honor that I have the privilege of introducing myself as the Principal of McGregor Elementary. I have served the last 12 years in Rochester Community Schools as a teacher, coach, athletic director, and, most recently, assistant principal. Yet, my greatest privilege is now serving as a leader in this special community.

I owe so much to this district for the incredible students, staff, and families I’ve built connections with, and I am eager to do so in this role as well.

Rooted in Rochester Community Schools

The only greater honor than my role as Principal of McGregor is that of which I owe to my family. I am husband to my wife, Anna, and father to Eliana and Nico. Like many of you, we enjoy taking our kids to their activities such as dance, tennis, soccer, and tee ball.

We also love spending time outdoors together, and few things bring me more joy than exposing my kids to nature. We love to hike, look for wildlife, fish, practice archery, and just about anything else that gets us outside.

Another significant part of our lives has been Rochester Community Schools. In my first year as a social studies teacher at Van Hoosen Middle School, many of my students attended my wedding. Seven years later, my daughter was helping daddy set up his classroom for what would be the last time.

For the last five years, Eliana and Nico could often be seen running through the halls of Rochester High after school, checking out the Falcon statue or watching the cheerleaders practice. It is incredible to watch my family and RCS family come together, and I am eager to be a part of your family’s journey in this great district as well.

Relationships, Growth, and Belonging

Throughout his career in education, Mr. Amore has centered his work on meaningful relationships with students and the growth that comes from truly knowing and supporting each learner.

01

Build Meaningful Connections

Getting to know students as individuals and creating strong relationships is at the heart of Mr. Amore’s work as an educator.

02

Celebrate Growth

Academic achievement matters, but so does witnessing students’ personal growth and celebrating the accomplishments that happen along the way.

Inspire Confidence

The McGregor staff will continue working together to inspire students to become kind, strong, and confident young people.

Be Here. Be You. Belong.

We’re Glad You’re Part of McGregor

Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can support you in any way.
