Dear Lake Ridge Elementary School Scholars, Families, & Staff,
I am truly honored to serve as the principal of Lake Ridge Elementary School. This marks my 22nd year in education, a journey that has included roles as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, assistant principal, and associate principal. This is my second year serving as the principal at Lake Ridge Elementary and my fourth year as a campus principal within Cedar Hill ISD, where I previously had the privilege of serving as the principal at Bray Elementary School.
As the principal of Lake Ridge Elementary, my passion for learning and student success will guide my work every day. With a shared vision and strategic planning, the academic growth of our scholars is our top priority. I am committed to maintaining a culture of excellence and high expectations as we work together to achieve the goals set for our students.
The success of our students is truly a team effort, and it takes all of us—teachers, staff, families, and community members—working together to ensure that every child thrives. High-quality instruction in the classroom is essential, as well as ongoing collaboration between school and home that truly drives student achievement. Together, we can create an environment where every scholar feels supported, challenged, and valued.
It is both my pleasure and honor to serve as your principal and be a part of this incredible community.
Sincerely,
Dr. Amanda McCarther
Principal, Lake Ridge Elementary School
