Dear Parents and Community Members,
Dear Parents and Community Members,
Welcome to Clay Hill Elementary School! I am proud to be leading at the greatest school in Clay County, where I began my principalship in 2016! Prior to that, I served as a classroom teacher and assistant principal for eighteen years, all of which were spent at our amazing Clay County schools. At CHE, our teachers and staff put students first, and ensure that the learning environment richly supports social-emotional development as well as strong academic gains!

The Clay Hill community is one that embraces familiarity and history. Many of our students are second and even third generation CHE Bulldogs! This is a testament to the value that our team places on relationships, and on ensuring that parents, staff, and community members work together to provide the best environment in which our students can learn and grow as they develop into successful, high performing adults.

CHE offers a comprehensive PreK-6th grade curriculum that includes strong instruction in foundational skills in the primary grades with an emphasis on deep, conceptual thinking in both ELA and math in the intermediate grades. Alignment to the Florida B.E.S.T. Standards and individual student needs is evidenced in all our classrooms by standards-based daily core instruction and differentiated small groups at all levels and in all content areas. Our instructional delivery is complemented by one-to-one digital access for all students, facilitated by on-demand, campus-wide access to our district wireless network and Chromebooks for every student at Clay Hill Elementary. Extracurricular opportunities, such as Intramural Sports Club, Robotics, and Chime Choir, along with our small, close-knit study body size, further facilitates engagement and the opportunity for all students to receive instruction that is specific to their unique levels of need and interest.

Dear Parents and Stakeholders,
Dear Parents and Stakeholders,
I am honored to be the Assistant Principal at Clay Hill Elementary School. My passion for education and the success of all students has been shaped over my years serving as a teacher and an assistant principal. In each role, I have sought to ensure the success of each student and school by providing the best educational and extracurricular opportunities possible. Similarly, it is my number one priority at Shadowlawn Elementary that every student receives a well-rounded education.

As we begin the new school year, please make sure to keep the lines of communication open with your child’s teacher. She/he will always be your first contact for any questions or concerns you may have. Parents and teachers working together will increase your child’s success, while also serving as a great model for students as to how to work effectively as a team.
