I am glad you have taken this opportunity to visit Goodview Elementary on the World Wide Web. Just as the internet is a fascinating place with its vast amount of information, Goodview Elementary is a fascinating place to learn and grow.

I have been in the education process in Bedford County since 1974 beginning as an elementary and middle school teacher. In 1987, I became an assistant principal, and later in 1994, I became a principal. I have gotten to know many people and families here in the Goodview area over these years and look forward to working with you again.

I believe we have assembled a wonderful staff here at GES, and I encourage you to get to know those people involved in the education of your child. Parent involvement is always encouraged and welcomed whether through being a volunteer, room representative or being part of the PTA. I would like to thank the many volunteers who came to help during the weeks prior to opening. This effort made our opening day a huge success. I hope your efforts will continue through the year. The door to Goodview is always open should you need to meet with any staff member or myself. Please feel free to visit anytime and watch as we go "on the hunt for excellence in knowledge and learning".
