KTEC Schools of Innovation Names Karre Feuker as Principal
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kenosha, Wis. — KTEC Schools of Innovation is proud to announce the hiring of Karre Feuker as principal, a pivotal step as the public charter school prepares to launch a new elementary and middle school for the 2025–26 academic year. With a proven track record of educational leadership and a passion for student-centered learning, Feuker brings a future-focused vision to the growing KTEC community.
KTEC Schools of Innovation is an expansion of KTEC High School’s current charter, offering hands-on, project-based learning to students in grades 4K–12. Since announcing the expansion in January, more than 250 students have already enrolled in the new schools.
Feuker’s professional background spans more than two decades in education, most recently serving as an education pathway teacher at Case and Horlick High Schools in Racine Unified School District (RUSD). She also held leadership positions across several RUSD schools, including Starbuck Middle School, Gilmore Fine Arts, and Olympia Brown Elementary. From 2019 to 2024, she served as associate principal at Union Grove High School, where she launched a mental health steering committee to support student well-being through community partnerships.
“I have chosen to join KTEC because of its unique student-driven approach to learning,” Feuker said. “KTEC blurs the lines of a traditional classroom by focusing on competency-based education that helps students reach their goals through meaningful, hands-on learning.”
Feuker holds a Master of Science in Education from Concordia University in Mequon, a Master of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin–Parkside, and a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and Graphic Communications from St. Norbert College. She also completed the proficiency-based licensing program through Silver Lake College and CESA 1.
In the immediate future, she aims to build a team of enthusiastic educators who are deeply committed to enriching students’ lives beyond simply delivering content. As she joins the leadership team—following outgoing principal Stacey Duchrow—and working alongside Executive Director Dr. Angela Andersson and Assistant Principal/Director of Special Education Hailey (DeLuca) Patty, she is excited to continue advancing the school’s mission. Looking ahead, her long-term goal is to expand the network of business partnerships to create even more opportunities for students.
With deep ties to the Kenosha area, Feuker is no stranger to the local community. Her husband is a Bradford High School alum and Carthage College graduate, and she currently collaborates with staff at Gateway Technical College, UW–Parkside, and Carthage through her transcripted-credit teaching role.
Feuker also brings an entrepreneurial spirit, having owned a frozen yogurt shop and multiple fitness centers, along with a strong background in curriculum innovation. She played a key role in developing middle school programs aligned with the RUSD High School Academies model and coordinated student cohorting strategies to support stronger teacher-student relationships.
At KTEC, she aims to further integrate career and technical education by exploring partnerships with local technology companies, and higher education institutions to to prepare students for careers in emerging fields like artificial intelligence.
“Education is about more than just knowing the right answers,” Feuker said. “It’s about developing resilience, critical thinking, and a love of learning. I want to help shape good human beings who contribute meaningfully to society.”
“Technology is a powerful tool to improve outcomes when used responsibly,” Feuker said. “But it’s just as important to build strong interpersonal communication skills. Learning is a social process.”
She emphasized her commitment to creating a safe, inclusive environment where every student feels heard, respected, and encouraged to be curious.
As KTEC continues to grow, Feuker is excited to lead a school community where innovation, equity, and excellence are the standard.
“It is an honor to be part of the KTEC team,” she said. “Together, we’re going to redefine what high-quality education looks like—not just in Kenosha, but across the nation.”
