Welcome!

I am originally from Hoover, AL. This is my 11th year in the Lee County School System. I worked as a World History and Contemporary Issues teacher for the first ten years of my career and I am entering my 4th year as Assistant Principal. I earned a bachelor's degree in Social Science Education from Auburn University in 2013 and a Master's in Instructional Leadership in 2018. 

The formative years of Junior High are a very crucial and interesting time in student's lives as they prepare to transition into their teenage years. As assistant principal, I look to be an advocate for every student, every day. I am available anytime via email at corona.luke@lee.k12.al.us

Greetings and Salutations!

I am excited to be a part of the administration team here at East Smiths Station Elementary. I am an alumnus of SSHS having graduated in 2000. I attended Auburn where I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Zoology. I have spent the entirety of my teaching career split between Smiths Station High School and Smiths Station Freshman Center, and looking forward to this new endeavor. 

I earned my Master's degree in Instructional Leadership from Troy University in 2017. I am currently working on my doctor of education at Columbus State University. 

My wife, Lara Beth, and I have been married for 9 years and have 4 daughters: Lilly, Aubrey, Maggie, and Emmy.
