Dear East Heritage Families, 

Welcome to the 2019-20 school year! I am honored to join the East Heritage community and so excited to get to know each of you as we kick off an amazing school year. I am a true believer in the power of parental involvement and the positive impact it has on student achievement. As your child’s first and most important teacher, you play a profound role in the success of your child as a student. I look forward to partnering with you in supporting your child to have a successful year.  

East Heritage Elementary is a very special place where the community comes together in the interest of raising our next generation to be successful, productive citizens. My goal is to continue to build upon the amazing things that have been established by Mrs. Walton and continue to work toward creating a positive climate where our Explorers will thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. High Standards and expectations for each student in regard to academic performance and responsible citizenship are the foundation of our school. The staff at East Heritage Elementary are committed to providing a safe and intellectually challenging environment that will empower students to become innovative thinkers, creative problem solvers and inspired learners prepared to thrive in the twenty-first century. 

Many changes have occurred at East Heritage Elementary in preparation for the 2019-2020 school year. We are thrilled to welcome Mr. McKinley and Mrs. Benner to our teaching staff. We would also like to welcome Miss Prothro to our administrative team as our Teaching Vice Principal. 

If you would like to discuss any concerns, questions, or ideas about your child’s education I would like you to know that our school administrative team’s door is always open. You are welcomed to volunteer on our campus. You can volunteer in the classroom, Join WATCH DOGS, become a member of our School Site Council, or join PTA.  Be sure to frequent our website for up to date information. Please follow us on Twitter @ EH_Explorers and Instagram @ ehexplorers. 

I am excited to have the opportunity to be the principal of this great school and I am looking forward to a fantastic year. I thank you in advance as we work together this school year to start “Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Today”.

 Sincerely,

Kristen Ashton
Principal
