Media release from Floyd County, GA Schools:
Floyd County Schools (FCS) is proud to announce the appointment of Dena Tracy as the new Principal of Alto Park Elementary School.
A veteran educator with 32 years of experience, Tracy has most recently served as the Assistant Principal at Alto Park, where she has been a driving force in supporting the school’s 400 students and 80 staff members.
Tracy’s ties to the Alto Park community and her proven record of leadership make her the natural choice to lead the school forward. As the current Assistant Principal of The Park, Tracy has been in charge of important programs like school testing, instructional tracking, and public relations, all while fostering a positive school environment for all.
“Mrs. Dena Tracy has already done great things for the Alto Park community as its Assistant Principal,” said Dr. Glenn White, Floyd County Schools Superintendent. “Her background in curriculum development and her passion for student achievement are exactly what we look for in a leader. We are excited to see the school continue to thrive under her guidance.”
Previously in Tracy’s career, she worked five years as an Assistant Professor of Education at Shorter University and as the K-12 Social Studies Specialist for FCS. She also served 24 years as a classroom teacher, earning the title of Pepperell Elementary School Teacher of the Year in 2002 and reaching the top three finalists for the district-wide honor.
“I am deeply honored to step into this new role at Alto Park Elementary,” said Dena Tracy. “Having served this community as Assistant Principal, I have seen firsthand the dedication of our teachers and the potential of our students. I look forward to continuing our work together to ensure every child at Alto Park receives a high-quality education in a supportive and encouraging environment.”
Tracy holds an Educational Specialist degree from Jacksonville State University and just completed her Tier II Certification in Educational Leadership at the University of West Georgia.
Mrs. Tracy will step in to replace Mr. Patrick Hopper, who announced his retirement earlier this month. Mr. Hopper made a tremendous impact on the school community at The Park, and we will truly miss him and his leadership. We wish him the very best retirement!
