WCSD NAMES INTERIM ADMINISTRATOR AT IRVING ELEMENTARY
Waterloo Schools proudly announces the appointment of Cora Turner as interim administrator at Irving Elementary School for the 2024-25 school year. Pending approval by the Waterloo Schools Board of Directors, effective August 1, Turner will assume the role, succeeding Zach Zimmerman, who transitions to head principal at Central Middle School.

Cora Turner brings over three decades of dedicated service within the Waterloo Schools community, having retired in 2018 and subsequently contributing in various leadership capacities. Presently overseeing summer school programming for middle school students, Turner remains deeply committed to advancing educational excellence within the district.

Cora will continue the great work that Irving staff has done the last several years, and will bring much knowledge and joy to this interim position.”

Reflecting on her approach, Turner remarked, “I rely on my Visionary Teacher to direct my path and guide me in truths and directions as I work with students, families, and the staff of Irving Elementary School. I am very excited, courageous, and thankful to continue fulfilling my life’s dream of serving others through my values and commitment to education.”
.
Turner's journey with Waterloo Schools began in 1994, initially serving as an administrative facilitator for the district’s alternative education program. She later assumed roles including assistant principal at Logan Middle School and district’s student services coordinator before her appointment as executive director of student services in 2004, a role she held until retirement in 2018.
.
As a graduate of East High School and as evidenced by her decades of commitment to Waterloo Schools, Turner is passionately committed to education, community, and family. Turner earned her Master’s in Educational Leadership, Secondary Principalship from the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls in 2000. That same year, she completed her Bachelor’s degree in teaching from Upper Iowa University, Waterloo campus. Turner also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Wartburg College in Waverly.
