Mrs. Brittney Lara

Principal
 
It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I introduce myself as the new principal of Turner Creek Elementary. I am honored to join this exceptional community, one known for its rich traditions, outstanding students, and passionate commitment to learning. From the moment I first learned about Turner Creek, I was drawn to the energy, pride, and care that radiates from its classrooms and hallways. I am eager to build strong, meaningful relationships with our students, staff, and families. Together, I believe we can create an even stronger foundation, one built on connection, trust, and shared vision.
 
I have had the privilege of serving in various roles across education, including classroom teacher, instructional coach, and school administrator. Throughout my career, I have been driven by the belief that every child deserves to be challenged, supported, and inspired. I am passionate about creating learning environments where students are encouraged to think critically, explore boldly, and grow into compassionate and productive 21st-century thinkers.
 
I am a proud graduate of UNC Charlotte, where I earned my B.A. in Elementary Education. Additionally, I hold a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction (K–12) with a focus on New Literacies and Global Learning from NC State, and a Master of School Administration from Longwood University. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, walking my dogs Callie and Charlotte, and spending time with friends and family.
