Meet Principal Alexis Conerty
It is my sincere pleasure and honor to be serving as your principal at Florence Elementary School. We are a small and mighty community here in the heart of Hillcrest. Each staff member comes with a plethora of expertise. They are all so committed to providing a balanced, student-centered, world class education. We, as a staff, are dedicated to develop successful, contributing citizens of the 21st century. Our goal is to support students to grow throughout the grade levels, each year adding more to their content knowledge and social understanding.
To share a bit about me: I have been an educator since 1996 and serving as the principal of Florence since 2015. Prior to being a principal, I have had experience in several areas of education: as a classroom teacher, a science resource teacher, a Reading Recovery teacher, a district literacy coach for elementary teachers, an English Learner Support Teacher and a District Resource Teacher where I supported principals and teachers throughout the district to support and strengthen literacy instruction. I believe my experiences serve well as I collaborate with teachers, families and the community at Florence Elementary.
I am also the proud mother of two teenage children. As a mom, I know what it is like to bring your children to school each and every day and expect them to be loved, cared for and to learn new things. As an educator, I understand the awesome responsibility we have to effectively love, care for and teach our students new things. Because I live in both worlds, that of a mom and of an educator, I feel I bring a perspective to Florence that will support all students, families and teachers.
I am excited to get to know the families and community members of Florence. Feel free to stop by anytime and say hello!
Go Falcons!
