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 21st year as a professional educator, and I love the elementary setting. The faculty and staff at SLES are the absolute best in the county, and make coming to work a joy. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and my two kiddos, working in the yard, gardening, hanging out, and watching my teams compete on TV.
