Dear Briar Vista Community,

As Principal of Briar Vista Elementary School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school website. I have been blessed to serve at Briar Vista for nine years where I have seen the exciting changes and growth over the years. Our staff is experienced, highly skilled and committed to working collaboratively to deliver quality education to our students. We are one campus that has two different educational pathways in Traditional and Montessori School Choice.

We also have amazing parents who give constant support to our school. Parent participation is welcomed, and we have many opportunities for parents and families to come and engage with the children’s learning. I urge you to join our PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) or PAC (Principal Advisory Council).

Every day is a wonderful day for Eagles to learn and lead! I look forward to working with stakeholders to continue a tradition of excellence in academic, creative, emotional, and social growth for our students.

If you would like to learn more about our school or ever have any questions, feel free to contact me at 678-874-5903 ext. 5934 or [email protected].

Thank you,

Cammie Neill

Greetings Briar Vista families!

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! I am excited to be here with you during my 23rd year of experience working with elementary and middle school students. I graduated from Florida A&M University with a B.S. in Elementary Education, obtained my M.S. in Elementary Education with a focus on Reading and Literacy from Walden University and my Ed.S. in Educational Leadership from Lincoln Memorial University. In addition to my tenure as a classroom teacher, I have also served as an Instructional Support Specialist for DeKalb County Schools.

I am eager and excited about what promises to be a great school year with academic experiences that are rigorous, relevant, and help our students make real-world connections. As your Assistant Principal, I am dedicated to serving with passion and my goal is to foster an environment where all students feel like integral members of our learning community.

My door is always open and I welcome your input. Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year. I look forward to working with you as a team to help each student at Briar Vista reach their goals and have a successful school year!

Yours in Education,
