Welcome to Brownsdale and Hayfield Elementary Schools! As principal in both schools, I am committed to leading our staff in creating and supporting success for every child.

 Mrs. Annette Freiheit, Principal

I grew up in Wanamingo, Minnesota, on a farm. I participated in basketball, track, choir and band in high school. I attended Winona State University and earned bachelor's degrees in recreational therapy and elementary education and a master's degree in educational leadership. I taught for 11 years in grades 1, 3, 4 and 6 before becoming a principal. I have been a principal in Hayfield Community Schools since 2002.

I am married to Dean and we have three children, who are Hayfield High School graduates. I love to read, listen to music, watch and participate in sports. Running (cross country, track and road races) is my favorite sport.
