Principal - Mrs. April Camp
April Camp

“I am truly honored and excited to join the Eastside Elementary community as your new principal! It feels especially meaningful to be part of a Leader in Me school, where empowering students to lead and grow is at the heart of everything we do.I earned my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Lander University, a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Southern Wesleyan University, and an additional degree in Administration from Gardner-Webb University. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading a good book, working in the garden, and finding time to get away to the beach. I look forward to building strong relationships with our students, staff, and families while continuing the tradition of excellence that already makes Eastside such a special place. I can’t wait to get started and grow together.”
