Burnt Hickory Families,

It is with great joy and enthusiasm that I welcome you to another exciting year at Burnt Hickory Elementary! I am honored to serve as the principal of such a remarkable school where students, staff, and families work together to create a caring, inclusive, and high-achieving community.

This is my 23rd year as an educator, and I have had the privilege of serving in a variety of roles—as a classroom teacher, special education teacher, and administrator at several schools. Each step along the way has deepened my passion for helping students grow both academically and personally. As a mom of two school aged children on the North campus, I understand the importance of working together to provide students with the best educational experience possible. My goal is to provide leadership, support, and opportunities which empower students to reach their highest potential while preparing them for a successful future. 

At Burnt Hickory, we are committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment where high expectations, collaboration, and innovation are at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to provide engaging instruction, promote critical thinking, and celebrate student success.

Family involvement is a vital part of our school culture, and we value the strong partnership we share with our families and community. Your support, whether through volunteering, attending events, or simply encouraging your child each day, makes a powerful impact on our students' success.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. I look forward to a year filled with growth, achievement, and meaningful connections! 

With gratitude,
