Greetings!
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2025-26 school year at Clay Springs Elementary School. I am honored to serve as the proud principal of such an exceptional school community. Our team is eager to begin what promises to be an outstanding year at Clay Springs Elementary.
As Clay Springs Black Bears, we are a community of learners. This includes our teachers, parents, students, and staff. We uphold high standards with a commitment to improving the educational process and working directly with, and involving, the community and families to ensure every student has a promising and successful future.
Every student matters, and we plan to make every moment count. We are committed to helping all students achieve academic success and become productive, responsible members of the community by creating a learning environment that fosters the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth of all students.
I look forward to working with you as we create a school where the staff is valued, parents and community are welcome, and students are engaged and excited about learning. There are many ways you can get involved at our school. You may choose to join our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) or School Advisory Council (SAC), volunteer in the classroom, or attend field trips; just to name a few.
