Administration

Dear Timber Ridge Elementary School Community,

As I step into my 18th year in education, and my third year as principal of Timber Ridge Elementary, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the opportunity to lead such an incredible school community. Our dedicated educators, staff, and families work tirelessly to create a place where students are supported, challenged, and inspired every day.

This year’s school theme is Rooted in Kindness. Rising in Excellence. Kindness is the foundation of all we do, shaping the way we treat one another, approach challenges, and build community. At the same time, we are committed to rising in excellence by setting high expectations, fostering curiosity, and celebrating the growth and success of every student.

I am honored to lead alongside Dr. Walden and Ms. Wesley as we focus on providing engaging instruction, nurturing relationships, and creating opportunities for every child to thrive. With your continued partnership, I know we will make this a year of meaningful learning, joyful experiences, and memorable accomplishments. Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being active partners in their education. I look forward to seeing you at school events, in the carline, and around our campus as we make 2025–2026 our best year yet.

Rooted in Kindness,
Holly Williams

I'm incredibly thrilled to be a part of this wonderful school community. I am incredibly honored and excited to work alongside Mrs. Williams and Dr. Walden to lead the instructional efforts at Timber Ridge. With over 15 years of experience in education, I've had the privilege of working with diverse student populations and witnessing the transformative power of quality education.

Throughout my career, I've been deeply committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment for all students. From the early years of my teaching journey to my most recent role as an instructional coach, I've always been passionate about fostering academic excellence and ensuring that each child feels seen and supported, as well as reaches their fullest potential.

I firmly believe in the importance of collaboration among teachers, parents, and students to create a thriving educational experience. My goal as the assistant principal is to continue building strong relationships with all stakeholders and to provide the necessary support and resources for our dedicated teachers.

I look forward to working hand-in-hand with the Timber Ridge Elementary community to maintain our school's reputation for academic achievement, a positive school culture, and a place where every student feels valued and empowered. Together, we will inspire a love for learning and help our students grow into confident and well-rounded individuals.

I look forward to an amazing school year.

Greetings Titan Family,

It is with tremendous enthusiasm and excitement that I write this letter of introduction as a new Assistant Principal here at Timber Ridge Elementary School. I am so elated to work alongside Ms. Williams, Ms. Wesley, and all the faculty at TRE. With 28 years of experience in education, I firmly believe that it takes a collaborative effort from administrators, faculty, and parents to ensure that scholars’ needs are met socially, emotionally, and academically.

 I have been in Henry County since 2006, serving as a teacher, Math Instructional Lead Teacher, and Assistant Principal. I began my educational career in 1996 in Thomasville, Georgia, which is also my hometown. My journey in education has afforded me the opportunity to serve both in the United States and internationally.  

My educational journey also serves as proof of my love for learning. I have obtained degrees in Elementary Education, Administrative Leadership, and Curriculum & Instruction. It is my love of learning that drives my passion to ensure that all scholars are provided with quality instruction while developing their own personal drive to be the best they can be.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, attending major sporting events, and traveling. I also enjoy learning new educational strategies and ways to support faculty, scholars, and parents.

Again, I am extremely excited to serve the scholars, parents, and staff of Timber Ridge Elementary. I look forward to meeting each of you and building positive relationships that will contribute to the greatness at TRE. I am fully committed to preparing our scholars for the global society that surrounds them each day!

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have. Let’s have an AWESOME TITAN year!!

Educationally yours,

Dr. LuShana Walden
