Principal Christy Otley

Meet Principal Christy Otley!

Hi, Shark families! My favorite part of being a principal is the learning and growing that happens among students and staff. A few fun facts about me: One of my favorite children’s books is “Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse.” I hope to someday climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and I once filmed a commercial in the Czech Republic!
