Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,

Hello, my names is Sarah (Stamm) Porter.  It is with great honor and pleasure that I introduce myself as the new principal at Garrison Elementary School.  I have been teaching at GES for 13 years.  I have a Bachelor’s from Morehead State University, Master’s from the University of the Cumberlands, and a Rank I (principal degree) from the University of the Cumberlands.  Before becoming a teacher at GES, I taught English in China, tutored, helped on my family farm, and was a waitress.   

I am married to Corey Porter, Boilermaker Local 105 and a Welding Instructor at Kentucky Welding Institute in Flemingsburg.  We have two boys, Paxton and Lane Porter, that both attend Garrison Elementary.  I am a member and teach Sunday School at Union Baptist Church in Lewis County.  In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, going on adventures, reading, being outdoors, and playing with animals.    

As a graduate of Lewis County High School, I have deep roots in the county.  My goal is for all students and staff to be successful at school and in life.  At Garrison Elementary we will continue to strive for excellence daily.  Garrison Elementary and I will work to make this school a positive and safe learning environment for all.  I look forward to this new school year and all that it will bring.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at Garrison Elementary (757-2122) or by email [email protected].

Thank you,

Sarah Porter

Principal
