🌟 Meet Laura Huggins | Assistant Principal, New Heights Middle School 🌟

Education has always been my passion, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students, teachers, and families each day!

🎓 My Educational Background:

• Penn State University – Bachelor's Degree in Kindergarten and Elementary Education

• Grand Canyon University – Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Reading

• Wingate University – Graduate Add-On Certification in K–12 Educational Administration

📚 My Journey in Education:

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to teach students in grades 2–6, serve as a Reading Coach, and grow as an instructional leader. I am now proudly serving in my third year as Assistant Principal at New Heights Middle School!

❤️ My Why:

I believe that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, every teacher deserves to feel supported, and every school should be a place where students are encouraged to grow, learn, and reach their full potential.

I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Jefferson and Pageland communities. The relationships I have built with our students, families, educators, and community members mean so much to me. It is truly a privilege to work alongside so many dedicated individuals who share a commitment to helping our students succeed.

As I continue my journey in educational leadership, my goal remains the same: to inspire growth, create opportunities, build meaningful relationships, and help our students and communities continue to excel and SOAR to New Heights! 🦅❤️💙

Every Hawk. Every Day.
