A new but familiar face will lead as head of school at Leelanau Montessori Public School Academy starting July 1.
Laura Piskor, who brings more than 15 years of experience in Montessori education and administration, will take on the position beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. Noted as having a strong foundation in child-centered learning, leadership, and program development, Piskor also holds credentials as a graduate of the University of Michigan and Montessori Institute Northwest. In addition, she holds a master’s degree in Early Childhood Montessori Education from Loyola College.
Piskor is a 1995 graduate of Montessori, and as a former student, feels honored and humbled to be able to take over the position from Arden Wilson, who she says has been an excellent model as head of school and as a leader in the community. Piskor has been a Montessori teacher for the past 16 years and has been back in the community serving in a supportive position for the last two years.
