The Crossroads Elementary School Site Base Decision Making Council voted
last Friday to
hire Lara Little as the new Principal at Crossroads Elementary School,
following the trans-
fer of Lorinda Jamison to the position of Director of Pupil Personnel.
Mrs. Little has taught in the Bath County School district for twelve years,
ten of those at
CES. During her tenure at Crossroads Elementary School, Mrs. Little has
served the stu-
dents and families of our community as a fifth-grade teacher, and most
recently as the
assistant principal for the last three years. I:
Mrs. Little is a Crossroads Crocodile, through and through! She displays
the leadership,
dedication, and integrity needed to guide students, families, stakeholders,
and faculty and
staff toward excellence—especially when We still find ourselves in
theseunprecedented
and ever-changing times.
