Welcome

LSE Principal

Principal: Mrs. Sammy Adams

Welcome to Locust Street Expressive Arts Elementary School! 

On behalf of the teachers and staff at Locust Street, I am honored to welcome you to our wonderful community. My name is Samantha Adams and I am proud to serve as the principal of a school that celebrates the power of creativity, collaboration, and community in everything we do.

At Locust Street, we believe that learning through the arts best prepares children for life. Our classrooms are vibrant spaces where music, movement, drama, and visual arts are integrated into academic learning, helping students make deep, meaningful connections across all subjects. This unique approach not only supports academic achievement, but also fosters confidence, empathy, and imagination.

Our mission, to promote learning through the arts. Students, teachers, and parents work together as a diverse community to support high expectations and achievement for all students, guides our daily work. We know that each child brings their own talents, stories, and dreams, and we are committed to nurturing their growth in every way.

As principal, I am inspired every day by the creativity and curiosity of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the strong support of our families and community. My door is always open, and I invite you to be an active part of our school community.

Thank you for visiting our website and for supporting the magic that happens at Locust Street Expressive Arts Elementary School. Together, we are helping students discover their voices, embrace their passions, and prepare for a bright future.

Sincerely,

Samantha Adams
