Dear Thornebrooke Barracudas,
I am honored to serve as your new principal at Thornebrooke Elementary School. I am entering my 12th year with Orange County Public Schools. During that time, I have served as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, district math program specialist, assistant principal, and now as the proud principal at Thornebrooke Elementary School.
I began my career with OCPS teaching at Gotha Middle School and I am excited to be back in the community. This community has a rich history of excellence and I know that we will continue to ensure our students are successful both in and out of the classroom.
As we prepare for the 2021-2022 school year, we are focused on creating a safe and positive learning environment where students, families, and community members are welcomed, valued, and excited about learning.
Please don't forget to follow us on our social media pages. We continually post updates, announcements, and information about events. You can find us on Facebook and Twitter.
I look forward to partnering with you to continue the great success at Thornebrooke Elementary School.
The 2021-2022 school year is going to be a phenomenal year!
Korey Bawden
Principal
