Administrators

Blaney Wildcats are "Simply the BESt" and I am honored to serve as principal. I am committed to serving the students, faculty, and families in the heart of Elgin. Our vision is to nurture character, achievement, teamwork and success in all students. My career in education began in the classroom, where I taught grades 3 through 5 for 12 years. I was a Reading Coach for one year and served nine years as an assistant principal at Lugoff Elementary School.  I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s in Teaching, and a Master’s in Educational Administration from the University of South Carolina. I am a proud mother to four children and three granddaughters. My favorite days are spent on the beach and cheering on the Clemson Tigers and Battling Bishops! I am looking forward to the 26-27 school year!

Welcome to another exciting school year at Blaney Elementary School! I am honored to continue serving as the Assistant Principal and look forward to partnering with our students, families, staff, and community to make this year “Simply the BESt”!

As an educator, I am committed to creating a positive, supportive learning environment where every child feels valued, challenged, and empowered to to succeed!

This is my 15th year in education. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of serving students and families in Orangeburg Consolidated School District 5, Lexington School District Two, Richland School District Two, and Richland School District One, where I began my journey as a school administrator.

I am a native of Spartanburg County and a proud graduate of the University of South Carolina, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and a Master’s degree in Educational Administration. I also earned a Master’s degree in Literacy with a focus in ESOL from Clemson University.

Outside of school, I am a proud mother of two. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling—especially to the beach, my happy place—and relaxing while watching television. My family’s favorite time of year is football season, and we love cheering on our favorite teams together!

I am excited about the opportunities this school year will bring and look forward to working alongside our incredible students, families, and staff. Together, we will make this a successful year!
