  • Lauren Stowe, Assistant Principal

    Mrs. Stowe is excited to continue serving as the Assistant Principal at Woods Creek Elementary School. A proud WCPSS native, she was born and raised in Cary, North Carolina. She completed her undergraduate studies at East Carolina University and later returned home to Cary to begin her teaching career, giving back to the community that helped shape her.
    Mrs. Stowe has a deep commitment to lifelong learning. She earned her Master’s degree in Special Education in 2011 and went on to complete her Master’s degree in School Administration in 2020, with an add-on in Curriculum and Instruction.
    Over the past 15 years in public education, Mrs. Stowe has had the opportunity to serve in a variety of roles, including teaching special education at both the elementary and middle school levels and working as an Intervention Coordinator. These experiences have strengthened her passion for supporting students, staff, and families and have reinforced her belief in the importance of building strong relationships within a school community.
    Recently married, Mrs. Stowe enjoys spending time with her new husband traveling, attending sporting events, and making memories with friends and family. When she needs downtime, she loves diving into arts and crafts projects and getting lost in a good book.
