Leanna McKinney
Greetings Drexel Community,
It is my privilege to serve as the principal of Drexel Elementary. Throughout my career with BCPS, I have developed a passion for finding ways for all students to learn and experience success. I believe in supporting students through a nurturing school environment, creating a school culture that accentuates the positives, and partnering with our school community.
At Drexel Elementary, our mission is to partner with families to prepare hearts and active minds to celebrate success for lifelong learning. We have a dedicated and committed staff that is student centered and holds high expectations for academic excellence. We value a safe school community, fostering a love of learning, and providing an environment that prepares our students for future success.
Please reach out to our office if we can be of assistance to you. You can reach me at lmckinney@burke.k12.nc.us or via phone at (828) 437-3160. I am looking forward to a great year together.
Leanna McKinney, Principal
