The following is by Endy Elementary School Principal Jodi Autry:

Welcome back to school, Endy families!

As the new principal of Endy Elementary School, I am so excited and honored to be a Redhawk. The Endy Redhawk name carries a superb reputation that is not taken lightly.

I continue to be impressed with the involvement and support that is provided from the families and community. I know that the students at Endy are resilient, motivated and eager to return to school.

The teachers and staff at Endy have been busy planning, preparing and finding creative ways to meet the needs of all students in the coming year. They have been studying innovative teaching strategies, mastering virtual platforms and building schedules that encourage student success. The compassion, commitment and dedication of the staff and teachers means that students at Endy are getting the best every day.

Endy is the proud home of the Dual Language Immersion Program in Stanly County Schools and will be applying for a North Carolina Global Recognition in the 2020-2021 school year.

Our goal is that all students develop cultural awareness, competence and communication skills that will support their success after graduation. Through outreach, technology, collaborative studies and innovative teaching, students will embrace a global awareness and increased global literacy.

As the principal of Endy Elementary School, I look forward to welcoming you on campus and continuing to push Endy to new heights.
