What great pleasure it is to serve as the leader of a dynamic school of teachers,  students and parents! I am beyond honored to serve as your "Principal in Service" at Chapel Hill Elementary School (CHES)! My name is Mrs. Lawanzer Smith and I "AM" a Proud CHES Panther!

As your child's school principal,  my solid and unwavering commitment is one that:  

  • values the partnership of teachers, parents, and the community through a consistent practice of shared goals, shared decisions, and shared responsibility.   
  • staffs the school with highly qualified and effective teachers who are passionate about student success and who are committed to continuous professional growth. 
  • provides ample opportunities for all students to gain knowledge to the best of their ability, effort, and interest in a standard’s based, engaging, rigorous, relevant, and safe learning environment.  
  • requires students to apply knowledge and critical thinking to solve real-life problems in a STEM- enhanced learning environment. 
  • motivates students to become lifelong learners who find valuable lessons in life experiences. 
  • provides a positive, safe, and tiered learning environment in which students feel valued and are excited about their school.
  • encourages students’ participation in community service activities that are designed to help students understand the importance of helping others and making a difference in the world around them.

I welcome the opportunity to work with the entire CHES community to forge a positive, productive and powerful partnership that will enhance a school community that is conducive to our students’ academic achievement and progress!  We ARE Team Chapel Hill Elementary School! ROAR!

 

Warmest, Kindest, and Best Regards!
