    About Ms. James

    I am so happy to be here at the Lake!  My family lives in Fuquay Varina, both of my awesome grown kiddos graduated from FVHS, and my husband serves as Principal at FVHS.  We absolutely LOVE our community and one of my favorite things about serving at SLES is seeing our students, staff, and families at school and around our town.  The strong sense of community is heartwarming!  I have been a principal for 15 years, all at the elementary school level - elementary-aged kiddos are my jam! I love the positive vibes and enthusiasm for learning that elementary kiddos have and it brings me joy every day!  My hope for South Lakes is that it is a nurturing and thriving learning community for all of us, and that we all work together in partnership to support each of our students to be their best selves.  Let's go Sea Turtles!

    About Mr. Kent

    I love working at South Lakes Elementary. This is my 20th year as a professional educator, and have found the elementary setting to be quite enjoyable. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 kiddos, working in the yard, gardening, hanging out, and watching my teams (BYU, Da Bears, Celtics, Canucks and the Metropolitans) compete on TV.
