Dear Stark Strong Community, 

My name is Nichole Craft, and I am the new Assistant Principal at Stark Elementary School.  I am so honored and blessed to be joining the  Stark Strong Community and am looking forward to a fantastic year!  I cannot wait to get the year started. 

I am excited to let you know a little about myself. I am a native Georgian and have spent the majority of my life in the Metro Atlanta Area.  I have lived in Butts County on Jackson Lake since 2016.  I worked in the corporate world for 14 years as a bank manager before deciding to become an educator.  I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in MIddle Grade ELA and Math from Clayton State University.  I then went on to receive a Master of Science degree in Elementary Reading and Math from Walden University.  I have been an Educator for 14 years.  I taught 3rd grade for seven years, 6th Grade Language arts for two years, Middle School Theatre for three years and this will be my third year as an administrator.  I am passionate about ensuring all students reach their full potential in a safe and welcoming environment. 

I have been fortunate enough to be married to my Middle School sweetheart for 25 years. We have one amazing 20 year old son who is moving away this year to pursue his second college degree. We have one beautiful Morkie puppy who keeps us on our toes.  In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends on the lake, cooking, fishing, painting, writing, yoga, walking, reading and playing games. 

I look forward to working with each of you in the upcoming school year! 

We are Stark Strong!
