Administration

Dear Lee County Middle School East Community,   

I am looking forward to another exciting year at Lee County Middle School East Campus. I am
a proud graduate of Lee County High School, and it is an honor to be back serving as principal of
this fantastic school. My experiences as a student in the Lee County School System were truly
wonderful and impactful in helping me reach and accomplish my educational achievements.
My goal is to provide all of our students at LCMSE with that positive experience.

I am beginning my 25th year in education and my 11th year in administration. I have been
fortunate to work in various school systems in Georgia throughout my career. I started my
educational career as a high school math teacher where I taught courses ranging from remedial
math to AP Calculus BC. I taught high school math for 14 years. Then, I began my journey as an
administrator where I have served in various roles from being a high school assistant principal
of discipline, a high school assistant principal for instruction, a middle school assistant principal,
and a middle school principal. In addition, my husband, Jeff, is also a Lee County High School graduate, and we have been married for 24 years.  We also have a goldendoodle who is a sweet but silly girl.  We also have nieces and nephews who are also Lee County graduates.

I am excited to continue my educational journey as an administrator in Lee County! It has been
great coming back home, and I look forward to helping our students grow and pursue new
horizons. Our goal as educators is to provide our students with the tools so that they can thrive
and be successful towards meeting their dreams and goals. In the end, we become stronger as
a community when our students grow to be productive citizens.

I am so excited to be a part of the staff for Lee County Middle School East! I am very passionate about achievement and have no problem recognizing hard-working staff and students. School culture and pride are very important to me because they both influence and prepare our faculty and students for an ever-competitive world. Building relationships and responsibility are also essential as I desire to foster the growth of our students and partnerships with community members.

I reside in Lee County, along with my lovely wife, Latashi, and our blessed two children, Azuri-Rose and Daniel Laster II. 

I have been a professional in education for 14  years.  I have served grades Pre-K to 12th grade, along with various leadership opportunities.  My Education includes a bachelor’s degree in Music Education (Voice) and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Supervision from “The Unsinkable” Albany State University.

My goal is to ignite a fire to focus on Respect, Unity, Achievement, and Fun to continue to make Lee County Middle School East “The Beast!”

I am passionate about middle school education and understand the challenges faced by both students and parents during this time. My aim is to create a positive experience for all involved.

I strongly believe that every student can thrive, regardless of their starting point. I enjoy creating a fun and engaging atmosphere that helps students develop a genuine love for learning. My goal is to ensure that the students at Lee County Middle School East are enthusiastic about school, and to help them develop the skills necessary for success in the future.

I grew up in Ware County, Georgia, and have been part of the Lee County community since 2003. This upcoming year will mark my 20th year in education. I have spent the last 19 years working in various roles at the middle school level within the Lee County School System. I earned my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Specialist degrees from Georgia Southwestern University and obtained my leadership certification from Columbus State University. My family includes my wonderful husband, Kalin, and our three amazing children—Beaux, Case, and Millie.
