Dear Clearwater Elementary School Family and Community,

It is an honor to introduce myself as the new principal of Clearwater Elementary School for the 2021-2022 school year.  As a graduate of Midland Valley High School, I am thrilled to serve and give back to this community.  It is my goal to continue the wonderful things that are taking place at Clearwater Elementary.  I will strive to provide an atmosphere of openness and collaboration among staff, students and families.  I am committed to caring and loving your children while providing them an elite learning environment in preparation for college and career readiness. 

I have worked for Aiken County Public Schools for the entirety of my educational career.  I have taught second, third, fourth, and fifth grades.  After receiving my degree in Educational Leadership, I served as Assistant Principal at Redcliffe Elementary and, currently, Mossy Creek Elementary for the past ten years.  My past experiences in education have prepared me for the principalship. 

I believe all students will be successful and achieve their educational goals when they are supported by parents, teachers and staff who work collaboratively together and believe in their potential.  I am devoted to ensuring the students at Clearwater Elementary are provided a high level of education where parents feel they are welcomed and become partners in their children’s education.  

On a personal note, I am married and have two children.  Emily is weeks away from graduating from high school and Ethan is in the 8^th grade.  I grew up in the North Augusta and Midland Valley community and I am thrilled to serve the students in the area in which I graduated High School. 

 In closing, please remember that I am always available to answer any questions, listen to any concerns, and welcome your input and feedback.  While I do not officially begin until July, I will be visiting the school periodically.  In the meantime, feel free to reach out via email.  I look forward to all the amazing things in store for Clearwater Elementary in the upcoming school year.

Sincerely,

Leslie Lowe
