Dear High Point Family:

It is with honor that I formally introduce myself as the newly appointed Principal at High Point Elementary. 

I have many years experience in elementary education across the grade levels. I spent the last 13 years as Assistant Principal at Lealman Avenue Elementary.  I come from a large family that values our traditions and relationships with others as we pass through life. I will step onto campus each morning with the commitment to make a positive impact upon the community I serve.

I have two grown daughters. One is a teacher who lives with her family in Minnesota. The other is a Registered Nurse who works in Atlanta in the Post Cardiac Surgery Unit.  My husband and I have called my childhood town of Clearwater home for many years. 

I look forward to spending time together as a learning family with joy.

Sincerely,

Annette Mavres

Principal
