Principal's Message

Dear Students, Families, and Friends,

It is with great excitement and pride that I welcome you to the inaugural year of Ten Oaks Elementary School. I am proud to be the principal of a school that places safety, family, and community at its heart.  Just like the Red Fox, our new school mascot, we will be clever & courageous. The red fox is known for its adaptability and intelligence, two traits that will define our students as they learn and grow here.

Opening a new school is a rare and special opportunity. As we embark on this wonderful journey together with our talented team of educators, and the supportive Carolina Forest community, we are laying the groundwork for traditions, experiences, and memories that will last for years to come.

As a native of HCS it has always been my desire to give back to the community and play a major role in children's lives, while also being a motivator to both students and teachers. I believe that education is most effective when there is a strong partnership between home and school. Together, we can ensure that each child is prepared to meet the challenges of the future with confidence and resilience.

The staff of TOES is excited about this journey, and we are so glad you are a part of this exciting beginning.

Welcome Red Fox Families,

Andrena Baker

Principal, TOES
