Welcome to the Yarbrough Elementary website!
I am Lisa Wheatley, and I have had the privilege of being an educator in Florida for 30 years. Throughout my career, I have taught 2nd grade, 5th grade, and 7th grade, and served as a Literacy Coach, Data Coach, and Assistant Principal for four years. For the past nine years, I have been honored to serve as a Principal.
I am beyond grateful to be back in Auburn. My husband, Brian, and I met here while attending Auburn University and always dreamed of returning one day.
As Principal, my mission is to serve our students and families, ensuring every child receives the best education possible by supporting our dedicated teachers and staff. I am committed to helping teachers differentiate instruction so that every student can access the curriculum and have their individual needs met.
At Yarbrough, "all means all." Regardless of a child’s strengths or weaknesses, every student has the potential to learn, and it is our duty to support them in their educational journey.
I look forward to working together to create a positive and enriching environment for all our students. Every student. Every day. Whatever it takes!
Respectfully,
Lisa Wheatley
