Wanda Aponte
Principal
Hello, and welcome to the Loughman Oaks Administration page!
I am a 12 year resident of Davenport, FL, a community that I am proud to live and work in. Loughman Oaks Elementary School is where I have worked for the last 14 years, and hopefully many more. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Management and a Master's Degree in Education. My certifications are in ESE K-12, El Ed K-6, Educational Leadership and ESOL endorsed. I have taught exceptional student education in both self-contained and general education classrooms. I am a strong believer that “all” children have the ability to learn. I look forward to a wonderful partnership, where school, community, and parent involvement will allow our OWLS to soar to success!

Assistant Principal
Hello everyone. I am proud to say that I have been a resident of Haines City for nearly 20 years. I have spent a majority of my life in beautiful Polk County. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida and my master’s degree from the University of South Florida. I began teaching at Loughman Oaks Elementary in 2003. I have served as a teacher, dean, math coach, science coach, and behavior interventionist. I left and spent a year at Chain of Lakes Elementary where I was their academic coach for all subjects. I spent 2 years as the Assistant Principal of Bartow Elementary Academy. After 2 amazing years in Bartow, I came back home to Loughman Oaks Elementary to become the Assistant Principal. I have an awesome wife, 3 amazing children, and we are all looking forward to another exciting year at the best school in the entire universe. “The Oaks”
