Sadie Spaeth

Sadie Spaeth joined The K12 Search Group in 2025 as Chief of Staff. Sadie is an integral part of the K12 Search Group team, working behind the scenes to ensure our clients and candidates have a high-quality experience.

A recent graduate of The University of Texas at Austin (B.A. in Sustainability Studies, Magna Cum Laude), she is deeply passionate about expanding access to quality public education and about building sustainable, thriving communities.

During her time in college, Sadie completed a year-long fellowship with the Georgia House of Representatives, where she contributed to policy development and decision-making. She later interned with The Colorado River Alliance, an Austin-based nonprofit, where she led award-winning environmental education programs for students from Title I schools.

In addition to her academic and policy experience, Sadie has been a backpacking instructor for youth in Colorado, focusing on environmental stewardship, outdoor confidence-building, and leadership development. She also worked as a docent for Pease Park in Austin—the city’s oldest and most historic public park—where she guided Title I school groups through environmental education lessons and place-based learning initiatives.

Sadie is an 8th-generation Texan who can often be found at her local climbing gym when she isn’t assisting Mollie and Melissa with searches and business development.
