Principal's Message

I am very excited about being the principal of DAR Elementary School.  I have many special memories of Kate Duncan Smith DAR School. These special memories include visiting my grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins that lived across the street from the campus.  I attended DAR school beginning in the first grade and graduated in 1983. I participated in various sports including basketball, tennis, and softball. I graduated from Athens State University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education.  I received a Masters and Ed.S in Elementary Education from The University of Alabama, as well as, Administration Degree in Educational Leadership, and Ed.D in Educational Leadership. I taught second grade for 10 years at Claysville and first and second grade for 3 years at DAR Elementary.  I have been a principal at Union Grove Elementary, Sloman Primary School, and Claysville Elementary School.
