Benjamin Meredith
Assistant Principal
I am honored to be part of the William Penn Elementary community! I began my career in education in 2013 and spent ten wonderful years in the classroom, teaching grades 2, 3, 5, and 6. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of serving as an assistant principal at West Lake Junior High and most recently held a split assignment supporting both Hunter and Jackling Elementary Schools.
My family and I live in Holladay. My wife is also a dedicated educator, and we have two amazing children who keep us on our toes. Education is truly my passion, but outside of school, I enjoy riding roller coasters and have an unusual amount of knowledge about trees—I’m always happy to share if you’re curious!
I’m excited to begin this new chapter at William Penn. Let’s go, Penguins!
