Patriot Principal's Corner

Mrs. Kim Bridges, Principal

Welcome to Lewisburg Primary School! I am looking forward to a wonderful year with the LPS family of students, parents, and staff, and I know that we are going to grow together as we become better readers, writers, and thinkers.

I am a 1997 graduate of Mississippi State University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. In 2006, I became a National Board Certified Teacher, and I completed my master's degree in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University in 2015.

When my husband and I moved to DeSoto County in 1997, I began my career in education as a third-grade teacher at Shadow Oaks Elementary. Over the past twenty-five years, I have taught in Horn Lake and Olive Branch before becoming a district literacy coach in 2012. Since 2016, I have been serving as assistant principal first at Horn Lake Elementary School (2016-2019), here at Lewisburg Primary School (2019-present), and am excited to be the new head principal.

My favorite job in the world is being a mother to my two daughters, Caroline (LHS Class of 2019) and Anna Clark (LHS Class of 2023). I am so grateful that they have grown up in our DeSoto County Schools, and I promise to give every child at LPS the same love and respect that I want for my own girls.

If I can ever be of any help to you or your child(ren), please don't hesitate to contact me through the contact form on the left or by calling the school office.
