Mrs. Lois Barney

Dear Superheroes,

It is with great honor and excitement that I introduce myself as Austin Road Elementary School’s principal.  My passion for education and supporting the success of all students has been shaped over the past 26 years as a teacher in grades first through fifth, an instructional coach, and an assistant principal. In each of these roles, I have sought to ensure the success of each student and school by providing the best instructional opportunities and support possible.

It is my goal to continue to strive for academic excellence by promoting the growth mindset, retaining highly qualified teachers, implementing personalized learning, promoting student agency, analyzing data, and establishing a supportive culture and climate for all stakeholders. Most importantly, our school motto “Always Reaching Excellence, Excellence in Everything” will continue to be implemented through great collaboration with students, parents, and teachers. I believe, with enthusiasm and pride, we can develop a community of believers. Therefore, promoting an environment where all stakeholders feel valued and working together to develop 21st century learners are my top priorities.

Once again, I am so thankful and extremely excited to have the opportunity to serve as your principal. We will work together to develop a school we are all proud of and be one of the best schools in the Henry County.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lois Barney

Principal

Austin Road Elementary School
