To My Beloved Highland Gardens Family,
For the past 10 wonderful years, I have had the absolute privilege of being a part of this incredible community. Looking back, my heart is overflowing with gratitude for the memories we've made, the milestones we've celebrated, and the love we've shared.
Above all, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your unwavering trust. You have turned over your most precious treasures to us, and being entrusted with your babies has been the greatest honor of my career. I have truly loved every single minute of it.
Thank you for sharing them with me, for letting me watch them grow, and for allowing me to be a part of their lives.
As this school year has come to a close, it is time for me to begin a new chapter in my own journey. This upcoming school year, I will be transitioning to
Principal at Southlawn Elementary.
While I am incredibly excited for this next adventure, leaving this community is bittersweet. A piece of my heart will always remain right here with the Highland Gardens family. Thank you for a decade of love, support, and unforgettable moments.

With all my love and deepest gratitude,

Ms. Chambless

The local D9, through the National Pan-Hellenic Council of Central Alabama, came together to host a Snack Pack Drive for HGES students—providing an assortment of snacks and showing the power of unity, service, and community impact. 💙

Happy Assistant Principal Week, Ms. Chambless!
