We Believe in Our Lions!

Dear Lake Ridge Elementary Community,

As the proud principal of Lake Ridge Elementary, I want to express how grateful I am to be part of this incredible community. Last year was filled with learning, growth, and many proud moments for our students and staff. Together, we built strong foundations, and this year we will continue to strengthen them.

My commitment remains the same: every child deserves a safe, welcoming environment where they feel a true sense of belonging and ownership of their learning. Our wonderful staff is dedicated to creating classrooms that foster clarity, kindness, and growth. This year, we will empower Lake Ridge Learners to be Reflective, Courageous, Curious, and Resilient - skills that prepare them for success in school and beyond.

With 18 years in education as a speech-language pathologist and assistant principal of elementary, preschool and K-8 schools, I know the power of collaboration between families and schools. Your partnership is essential, and I value open communication as we work together to ensure success for every student.

As a member of a military-connected family, I understand the importance of community and support, and that is exactly what we strive to provide here at Lake Ridge Elementary.

Let’s continue to build on our shared vision: a school where students feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn. Thank you for trusting us with your children.

We Love Our Lions and We Believe in Our Lions!

Principal, Lake Ridge Elementary
