I am so excited to be beginning my first year as Assistant Principal at Grace E. Hardeman Elementary!  I have already felt so welcomed by the staff and parents of Hardeman and look forward to meeting the students of HES.  I already feel like I am part of the Hardeman family.

I too believe in the philosophy that Mr. Drysdale has for Hardeman, that “No Significant Learning Takes Place without a Significant Relationship.”  When we build a strong bond between staff, students, parents and the community we can accomplish almost anything. I have met so many dedicated teachers and staff members.  They have spent many hours of their own time getting the classroom and school ready, so that everything is ready for your children as they begin their school year.   I have already watched the Hardeman PTA in action as they have pitched in with registration and to get things prepared for the new year.  As I went to the “Back to School Bash” in August, I felt such a strong spirit of community.  It gave me such a great feeling to see so many people in this area that were really ready to invest their time into the lives of the young ones here. 

Please know that I want the best for your children and I am ready to work alongside you in any way I can to help them become successful.  Please contact me if I can assist you with your child.  It is truly a blessing to be a part of Hardeman Elementary.

I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
