Anita Pangle, principal of Elizabeth Lane Elementary, attributes her school's success to its focus on instruction. We know that we control our future and to continue to be successful we must always remain focused on our mission. Bill Pangle agrees that being focused is important to success but also attributes his success as principal of McKee Elementary to motivation. I have a motto I read every day that says you must be willing to give your best before expecting it of others. You need to set a good example for people, show them that you appreciate their work and support their efforts.
Positive relationships are very important to the success of a program.
Elizabeth Lane Elementary was built three years ago to relieve the crowding at McKee Road Elementary. With her years of experience, most people would have been thinking of retiring versus opening a new school. But this was something Anita always wanted to do. Bill also encouraged his wife to pursue a principal position. Knowing her as well as I do, I knew that her talents, skills and unique ideas would hold her in good stead.
