Mr. Ellzey ~ Kindergarten
Hello! My name is Tyler Ellzey. I am a lover of all things active, food, music, and kids! Having spent all of my career so far teaching kindergarten, working with children in their early childhood years is my biggest passion. I am a graduate of Appalachian State University (B.S. in Child Development) and hold a Birth-Kindergarten as well as K-6 teaching license. Currently, I am furthering my studies at East Carolina University and working on a Master’s in Reading Education. When I’m not teaching or studying, I love to run, cook, and spend time with my family. I could not be more excited to be a part of Buckhorn Creek!
Mrs. Oas ~ Assistant Principal
I am so excited to be joining the Buckhorn Buccaneers as the Assistant Principal. I have been an Assistant Principal for two years. I have also been an Instructional Coach for teachers and a classroom teacher in 1st, 3rd, 4th and 7th grades.
My favorite things to do in school are visiting classrooms to find out what kids are learning. I like to get to know students individually by playing a game, reading a book together or having lunch with them. I have 3 grown children. One is even an elementary teacher! I like to read, cook meals for friends, ride bikes with my husband and travel.
Ms. Schaible ~ 2nd Grade
I am THRILLED to be a Buccaneer! Originally from Chicago, I moved to the Apex area in high school. I graduated Meredith College (Go Odds!) with a degree in Child Development and a K-6 License. I have been teaching third grade at West Lake Elementary since 2013 and I am so excited to start a new journey at BCE!
I believe in creating a classroom family that builds meaningful relationships and fosters students to be 21st century learners. My favorite place is in the classroom and my passion for education drives my instruction to create a student-centered environment that encourages student growth.
When I’m not learning with my students I enjoy watching sports, traveling, concerts, and trying different fitness classes.
