It is with great pride and heartfelt excitement that I welcome you to a new chapter at our school—as your new principal. Having served as the assistant principal, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside our students, staff, and families in pursuit of excellence. Now, I am honored to continue this journey in a new role, with the same unwavering commitment to our shared success.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple but powerful belief: Every child, every day, every opportunity. This belief will continue to guide our work as we strive to create a learning environment where every student feels seen, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.

Student achievement remains our top priority. We will build on our strong foundation and continue to foster academic growth, character development, and a sense of community that empowers all learners to thrive.

Together, we will make this school year one of our best yet.

Here's to a successful year ahead!

I am truly honored to have the opportunity to serve the Morganton Road Elementary School community. I view education as a lifelong journey and look forward to learning more about the unique strengths and traditions of Morganton Road Elementary this year and in the years ahead. Most importantly, I firmly believe that students must always be at the center of all school-related decisions. I am committed to creating a learning environment that encourages collaboration, healthy competition, and success in an increasingly interconnected world. 

I am excited to begin this new journey as the Assistant Principal of Morganton Road Elementary School alongside our students, families, and community. I am deeply passionate about student learning and growth, and my goal is to foster a school environment where every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Through strong partnerships and collaboration, it is my hope that Morganton Road Elementary continues to be a place where everyone feels respected, valued, and loved.

Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, and together, we nurture their dreams!
