Principal's Message

Clear Fork Elementary Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2024 – 2025 school year! I am incredibly delighted and honored to introducemyself as the new Principal of Clear Fork Elementary. Whether you are a returning family or new to our school community, I am thrilled to have you with us as we embark on an exciting new school year. It has been a privilege to serve in the field of education for over two decades.This will be my seventh year as a Principal, and I am excited to be on this journey with each ofyou and work alongside our dedicated staff that seeks to ensure a safe, supportive, andengaging experience for the students of Clear Fork Elementary.

The theme of our school year is “Homegrown”. Not only will we share, teach, instill, nourish, connect, give, help…but we will grow together. Being “Homegrown” at Clear Fork Elementary means that we will strive to grow every single student by 1.5 years per year in reading and math. It means that we will grow together in leadership and create high-trust cultures. The goal of being “Homegrown” is to inspire a love of learning in every one of our students and prepare
them for success both in and out of the classroom.

Please know that I value your partnership as we educate and grow your students. As Principal, my door is open and I welcome communication. Together, we can make this school year a memorable and successful experience for our students. I am thankful to share this journey with
my new Clear Fork Family!

With Lion Pride,
Michelle Hale, Principal
