Administrators

As a 36 year veteran of SPPS, I have been an elementary teacher, elementary assistant principal and principal at Highland Park Elementary for nine years and I am beginning my 11th year at Hidden River MS.

As a parent, all four of my children attended SPPS.  I am proud to work in SPPS and I enjoy the rich history and student population of St. Paul.

Hello everyone! I am Kris Chlebecek, one of the Assistant Principals at Hidden River Middle School.

I was a teacher at Humboldt Junior High for 10 years before working as an Assistant Principal at Battle Creek Middle School.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. 

Hi Hidden River Students and Families,

I'm excited for the 2026-2027 school year. This is my sixth year as Assistant Principal at Hidden River, I am one of two Assistant Principals, and I will be mainly working with 7th grade students and 8th grade students' last names A-L. One thing I really enjoy about Hidden River is that it offers a variety of programs and activities for students. 

This will be my 14th year in SPPS, I have served as a PE & Health teacher, MYP Coordinator, Athletic Director and Head Varsity Basketball coach. 

I look forward to working with you and your students this year! 

GO Otters!
