Welcome to EPMS! Thank you for taking the time to visit our site!

It is an honor and privilege to serve the students, parents, faculty and staff, and the community of East Paulding.  Our dedicated faculty is committed to Engaging, Preparing, and Motivating students to Support their academic and social growth.  Additionally, we hold in high regard the role and contributions of the students, parents, and community that help us reach our most challenging goals.  

I am thankful for the opportunity to be your principal. I am an energetic and dedicated educator with 27 years of experience. I served 20 years in Haralson County as a high school English teacher, a Freshman Academy Principal, a Central Office School Improvement Specialist and Grant Writer, an AP at Tallapoosa Primary and West Haralson Elementary, and a principal at West Haralson Elementary. In Paulding, I was an AP with NPHS for seven years.  As we make our way through the 2024-2025 school year at EPMS, I would like to challenge our community and our parents to encourage students to believe in themselves and to achieve their academic goals. 

Fundamentally, I believe in being a servant leader. I plan to serve EPMS students, parents, teachers, and staff to the best of my ability. Together, we will create a welcoming, positive, safe, and supportive environment in which our students can thrive academically. 

If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Respectfully,

Dr. Lorilyn Harrell, Principal
