Principal
Greeting Knights’ Community,
My name is Shawn Hudson, and I am excited to be in my 17th year as the proud principal of Chancellor Elementary School. I am originally from Central Pennsylvania and graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with an Associate Degree in Criminology and Clarion University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. In 2000, I moved to Virginia, where I started my teaching career in Cumberland County and later Henrico County. I continued my studies to earn a Master’s of Educational Leadership Degree at Virginia Commonwealth University. My wife is also an administrator in another Virginia school division. I am the proud father of twins Noah and Grace. We have one Dachshund, Sadie. I am an avid sports enthusiast and a devoted Penn State Steelers and Penguins fan. While not at work, I enjoy working on cars and spending time outdoors. I have been blessed to be the Principal of Chancellor Elementary, where we strive for academic success and a holistic approach to educating each child. As we move ahead and prepare our students to be productive citizens in a global society, I have identified our keys to success at ChES as hard-working students, dedicated staff, supportive parents, and community involvement. Go Knights!
