Hello Eastside Family!  It is a blessing and honor to be serving as your Principal this year.  I am thrilled to be coming back to the LaFayette area to serve the families that live in this part of Chambers County.  We will strive for excellence this year in meeting the needs of your children.  At school, we will be very deliberate about carrying out the mission of our school by planning and implementing a focused curriculum.  We will count on parents, family members, and community members to come along beside our classroom educators and expect our students to give their very best. We will also model and reinforce positive social interactions and skills that students will need to be successful beyond elementary school.  We are educating the next generation at Eastside Elementary and we believe that our students can change the world!
