Please help us welcome our new assistant principal, Ms. Margaret Waters, to East Ridge!

Ms. Waters is joining us from East Side Elementary, where she served as an instructional coach. She loves helping students grow in confidence, find their strengths, and realize they can do hard things — and she is passionate about supporting teachers along the way, too.

Some of our families and staff may remember Ms. Waters from when she led our Summer Reach program a few years ago, so we are excited to welcome back a familiar face. She is looking forward to investing in the East Ridge community and helping us continue the work of supporting every student as they learn and grow.

We are excited to have her joining the Pioneer family!
