Welcome to Factory Shoals Elementary School, Home of the Dolphins. Our mission is to provide a quality education for all students in a safe, supportive environment that fosters success for all stakeholders. Our school motto is D.I.V.E. which stands for Determined Individuals Valuing Education.
It is my absolute honor and privilege to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year! We cannot wait to see our students' beautiful, smiling faces. The building has been quiet all summer!
I am a graduate of The University of Georgia - GO DAWGS, Central Michigan University and Valdosta State University!! I have been in education for over 17 years and have worked at all levels – elementary, middle and high school where I have been a classroom teacher, program coordinator and an assistant principal. I am no stranger to Factory Shoals as I taught Kindergarten here in 2007.
Our theme for this school year is: “GAMES On (Goals And Motivation Equals Success)”.
This year, our Dynamic Dolphins will be setting goals. Goal-setting is an important skill for students because it encourages them to develop problem solving skills to reach short-term milestones, while providing them with confidence to fulfill their long-term dreams. Our teachers and staff have worked hard over the summer in planning and professional development to provide the best learning opportunities and resources to motivate our students to reach their goals.
My vision for Factory Shoals is to ensure that school is a place where our students will learn and grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well and have fun while doing it. I believe that progress is impossible without change. It is my goal to create a culture of success by doing what's best for children. We will work to set high expectations for all learners. My door is always open and I cannot wait to continue to build relationships with you, your children, and our school community.
We are here to serve you. Our Assistant Principals are Mrs. Sheila Watts and Mr. Derek Cobb and our Instructional Lead Teacher is Dr. Adriane Williams.

It's great to be a Factory Dolphin! 
All the best,
