Mr. Thor is our Southview Elementary Principal, and his passion for his school shines through every day. You’ll often find him greeting students with a smile during morning drop-off or spending time with kids out on the playground. He’s dedicated to making Southview a welcoming and fun place to learn!
Outside of school, Mr. Thor enjoys traveling and exploring new places. But here’s the question… 🌎✈️ Do you think he’s visited all 50 states?
