“Missouri Senate’s 94th General Assembly join to applaud the personal and professional accomplishments thus far in the life and career of educator James Chellew,” reads a proclamation State Sen. Ryan McKenna presented to Chellew.
Chellew was presented with the proclamation during a surprise announcement at a regularly scheduled Arnold Rotary Club meeting.
Prior to his appointment at MBU in 2005, Chellew worked in the public school district for more than thirty years. From 2001 to 2005, he worked at the helm of the Fox School District as its superintendent. Before that appointment, he worked for Fox in a variety of capacities, including: assistant superintendent for elementary education, assistant superintendent for special services, principal at Fox Elementary and teacher at Meramec Heights in Elementary.
Chellew holds a master of arts from Truman State University and has completed post-graduate studies for superintendent certification through University of Missouri-St. Louis. He also holds a bachelor’s of arts degree from Central Methodist University and a teaching certification in elementary education from University of Missouri-St. Louis
