BES Vision Statement: Building Exceptional Students
From the Principal:
I want to introduce myself to you. My name is Dr. Kent McCrary and I’m a product of Catoosa County Schools. I attended Cloud Springs Elementary, Lakeview Jr. High, and Lakeview Fort-Oglethorpe High School. Catoosa County Schools prepared me for my future and I work hard everyday trying to do the same for the students of Battlefield Elementary.
I will be starting my twenty-seventh year in education. I started my career teaching seventh grade math at Ringgold Middle School. I then moved to Lakeview Middle and taught seventh and eighth grade math for nine years. I will be starting my thirteenth year at Battlefield, six as assistant principal and seven as principal. I love being a part of this awesome school and look forward to the great things ahead of us.
My wife Carla is a teacher at Ringgold Elementary. My son Cole recently graduated from Dalton State with a degree in Marketing and will be pursuing a master’s degree. My daughter Kailey just graduated from Heritage High School and will be attending Dalton State in the fall.
Dr. Smith and I work hard to give every student the needed skills to be successful adults. We truly believe in “Every Child, Every Day, Without Exception.”
We Are Battlefield.
Dr. McCrary
From the Assistant Principal
Welcome back to another wonderful year at Battlefield! We have had a great start to a new year, and we are so excited to watch your kids grow socially and academically this year. I am Lauren Smith, the assistant principal of Battlefield Elementary. This is my 17th year in education, and my 5th year as assistant principal. My husband and I live on a farm where my husband owns and operates chicken houses. We have a 6 year old son (Jay), and 3 dogs (Lodi, the boxer, Slinky, the dachshund, and Loxley, the golden doodle).
I graduated from LaFayette High School. After graduation, I attended Berry College where I received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I continued my education and received my Master’s degree from Walden University, my Educational Specialists degree from Lincoln Memorial University, and finally, my Doctorate degree from Liberty University. School is all I know!
I absolutely LOVE Battlefield Elementary because we are the BESt! I am looking forward to a year full of fun and learning! We are Battlefield!
