Meet the Principal
Kim Cory
Kim Cory has been the principal of 5RiversOnline school since its inception. She holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in education while also being a fully licensed principal and superintendent in the state of Minnesota.
Kim taught in the classroom for 18 years before moving to district leadership roles of PBIS coach and Dean of Students for two years previous to her becoming the principal of 5RiversOnline.
Her educational opportunities have afforded her an opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of people to meet the common goal of increasing student achievement while focusing on each learner’s well-being through social & emotional supports. Her educational philosophy is quite simple: Love Hard, Lean In, and Expect Much. She has been greatly influenced by the teachings of Linda Clatt-Wayman, Dr. Brene Brown, and Dr. Harriet Lerner.
Kim greatly enjoys her time with her husband, Scott, and their 4 children along with their all-important Golden Retriever, Tiller. Kim is also a church musician in Red Wing and can be found behind the sewing machine when time allows.
