Lisa Hawkins | Principal

Dear Clarksville Elementary Families,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year and to my very first year as an administrator with the Clarksville Community School Corporation! I am truly honored to join this amazing school family and to serve as the principal of Clarksville Elementary.

As an educator, I have spent the last 26 years serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade in various roles, including teacher, instructional coach, principal, director, and assistant superintendent. These experiences have strengthened my belief in the importance of strong partnerships between school and home. When we work together, we build the best possible foundation for our children to succeed.

Clarksville Elementary has a proud tradition of excellence, diversity, and achievement and I am thrilled to contribute to that legacy. I am especially excited to work alongside a dedicated and compassionate staff that truly cares about kids. Their commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment is evident in everything they do.

As we begin this new school year, I look forward to getting to know each of our students and their families. As adults, we have a powerful opportunity to model respectful behavior for our children through the way we communicate, collaborate, and care for one another. Together, we can create a school environment where kindness, respect, and empathy are the foundation for every interaction.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. With a team of educators who care deeply about your child’s well-being and success, I know we can make this a year full of joy, growth, and meaningful learning.

Go, Generals!

Warmly,

Mrs. Lisa Hawkins, Ed.S.
