We know great things are in store for Chicopee Woods Elementary.”

Fisher began her educational career at Fair Street International Baccalaureate School (2004-2006), where she taught first grade. She joined Hall County in 2006, teaching first and second grade at Mt. Vernon Elementary School. In 2010, she moved into the role of Instructional Coach for Mt. Vernon, and she was promoted to her current role of Assistant Principal in 2013.

“I am honored and excited about the opportunity to join the Chicopee Woods Elementary School family,” said Fisher. “I look forward to working and learning alongside the school’s talented staff and partnering with families and the community as we all work together to achieve CWES’s vision of ‘making the world a better place by being the best school for our students.’”
