At Endeavor, we are "Building a Foundation of Success." As an elementary school, it is imperative that we build a foundation that will help ALL of our students to be successful in the future. "Inclusive, good quality education is a foundation for dynamic and equitable societies." (Desmond Tutu) 

I have enjoyed working in the field of education for over 30 years teaching social studies, math, and special education. I have been blessed to serve the families of Endeavor first as the assistant principal and now as the principal. I grew up on the other side of the river, in Decatur and have lived and worked in Mobile, Tuskegee, and Auburn/Opelika before returning to North Alabama to work in Madison County. I am married to Joel McAlister and together we enjoy being outdoors and on the water, watching many different sports, and time with family.
