Principal's Corner

Ms. Debbie Benson

Bio:

I am privileged and excited to be the new principal at Huntington Place Elementary School!  My experiences in education have been varied and very enriching.  I look forward to the challenge of a new school, which actually feels like a return to "home" for me.  I look forward to having a wonderful year with the faculty, staff, students, and parents of Huntington Place Elementary School.

I am also privileged to be the mother of three daughters, who are now grown, and continue to be delightful!  My hobbies include hiking, reading, handwork, and crafts of all kinds.  I am very involved in Christ Harbor United Methodist Church and help to lead a ladies Bible study.
