Meet Your Summitt Leaders
Meet Ms. Kim Placker
It is a privilege to serve as the Interim Principal of Summitt Elementary School. With more than 30 years of experience in education, I’ve been fortunate to serve in many different roles within Austin ISD—and each one has deepened my love for working with students, staff, and families.
My husband, Steve, and I live in north Austin and are proud parents of two wonderful daughters. As a parent, I understand just how much trust it takes to place your child in someone else’s care each day—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I appreciate the opportunity to serve this vibrant school community.
