For years, LDC has been a beacon of success in the vibrant East Nashville community. I look forward to supporting all students who enter through our red doors.
I believe that all schools are communities, and thus educators and parents must work together to support student learning. When teachers communicate regularly with families and families reinforce learning at home, schools succeed. I plan on continuing that tradition of collaboration during my tenure at LDC.
In addition to academics, my focus will be to ensure our students are safe and supported. The elementary years are a time of exploration; LDC is a place where student social and emotional well-being is paramount. Our dedicated staff will work to guide and support students as they try new things, read new books, and start their journey into adulthood.
Moreover, I believe in preparing the child for the road, not the road for the child. This means equipping our students with the skills, resilience, and confidence they need to navigate life's challenges. Students grow when they learn from their mistakes. By fostering independence and critical thinking in a safe and supportive learning community, we aim to empower our students to flourish in any environment they encounter.
I look forward to working with you to ensure our students thrive!
