New MCES Principal

Dear Mitchell County Elementary School Families,

It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I introduce myself as the new principal of Mitchell County Elementary School. I am honored to serve in this role and to join a community that is rich in tradition, passion, and a strong commitment to student success.

This year, our school-wide theme is “Soaring Strong: One School, One Flight.” This theme speaks to the power of unity, shared purpose, and resilience. At Mitchell County Elementary, we are one team, one family, and we rise together. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the playground, or during a school-wide celebration, our collective efforts will help every scholar soar to new heights.

I come to this position with a heart for servant leadership and a clear vision: to foster an environment where every child feels valued, challenged, and inspired. I believe in high expectations, collaborative partnerships, and creating a culture of excellence that empowers both students and staff. Together, with your support and partnership, we will continue building a school where innovation, achievement, and compassion thrive.

I look forward to connecting with each of you in the coming days and weeks. Whether you are a returning family or new to our school, please know that my door is always open. Let’s work together to ensure this is a memorable and successful year for all of our scholars.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. I am proud to be a part of the Mitchell County Elementary family, and I am excited for the journey ahead.

Soaring Strong,

LaPorchia Q. Grier, Ed.S
