Hello, Dudley Shoals family!  I am absolutely thrilled to join the Dudley Shoals Elementary School family as your new principal! Dudley Shoals holds a truly special place in my heart. I've been a dedicated part of the Caldwell County Schools family since 2002, beginning my journey as a teacher and steadily working my way up through instructional facilitator and assistant principal roles.  My commitment to education extends to my personal life as well; my husband teaches at South Caldwell High School, and all three of my children have proudly attended SCHS, with two already graduating. My own strong foundation in education includes a B.S.Ed in Middle Grades Education from Western Carolina University and an MA in Middle Grades Education and a School Administration license from Appalachian State University. As a National Board Certified Teacher, I am deeply passionate about fostering student success.  As we embark on this journey together, I am particularly excited to uphold and champion our shared vision of creating an environment that protects, challenges, and encourages all students. Our goal is to ensure every child is well-equipped to thrive in the ever-changing world they will navigate. I look forward to working hand-in-hand with our incredible students, dedicated staff, and supportive families to make this vision a vibrant reality.
