Stacie McGuirt, Principal

I am humbled and honored to serve as principal of Beaverdam Elementary.  I prioritize meaningful collaboration with staff, families and our community to ensure the success of every student, every day. 

I was born in Ohio and moved to Raleigh when I started middle school. After graduating from Leesville Road High School, I attended Western Carolina University where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree. I started my teaching career as a fifth grade teacher and I soon realized how passionate I was about using the best strategies and differentiated lessons to grow my students. I continued my education at North Carolina Central University where I earned my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  

I spent 12 years teaching at the elementary level. During my time in the classroom, I taught fifth, fourth, and second grades, as well as kindergarten. I served as a mentor for beginning teachers and enjoyed collaborating with my team on how best to serve our students.  In the Fall of 2013, I became an Instructional Resource Teacher at Reedy Creek Elementary School, which prepared me to pursue administration.  

I completed my school administration licensure in June 2018 and started my administrative career at Lufkin Road Middle School. I served as the assistant principal at Lufkin for four years and was able to support all three grade levels during that time.  While I am sad to be leaving the Lufkin community that I have grown to love, I am very excited to start building and developing new relationships with you all at Beaverdam.  

On a personal note, I have been married to my husband, Regan, for over 22 years, and we have three beautiful children together. Carson will start his junior year of high school this fall, Claire has just begun seventh grade and Coen has just begun first grade. On top of that, we have a stubborn French Bulldog named Bromaine who we enjoy taking to the beach.

Please know how serious and committed I am to serving our students, staff, families, and the greater community. I look forward to collaborating and partnering with families and I will work to schedule an opportunity to meet with you all in the coming weeks.

Asst. Principal

I am incredibly grateful to continue my journey at Beaverdam Elementary School as Assistant Principal for the 2024-2025 school year. My desire is to continue advocating for all students and families with an educational experience where values and diversity are celebrated while having a genuine passion for building relationships and creating a safe learning environment. 

I am originally from Laurinburg, NC, where I graduated from Scotland High School. I attended Dudley’s Cosmetology University and became a salon owner/cosmetologist for 15 years.  The love that I have for the educational profession prompted me to return to college where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from UNC Pembroke. After graduation, I worked as a Qualified Professional Substance Abuse Counselor at Southeastern Regional Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. I hold three master’s degrees; Masters in Counseling, Masters in Human Resources from Webster University, and a Master's in School Administration from UNC-Pembroke. 

I have served 25 years with the state of NC as a mental health and substance abuse counselor, high school counselor, testing coordinator, and assistant principal in the Elementary, Middle, and High School sectors. I was previously employed with The Public Schools of Robeson County and Scotland County Schools prior to my employment with Wake County Public Schools.  I will continue to bring to this role a wealth of administration experience to Beaverdam Elementary by immersing myself deeper into the vision of our school by interacting with students and staff. I have a passion for being visible upon students' arrival, dismissal, in the hallways, classrooms, and throughout the building. Recognizing student achievements and communicating with parents is important  to me in order to provide leadership, all while building a structure of collaborative relationships in the school and community. 

I am happily married to my husband, Anthony. I have two children, Timon, a recent MBA graduate and scholar athelete from UNC-Pembroke and a daughter, Tyler who attends UNC-Chapel Hill where she is an active “Marching Tar Heel."  

I look forward to having an amazing school year.

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new assistant principal at Beaverdam Elementary School. It is with great enthusiasm that I join this esteemed educational community and embark on this journey of collaboration, growth, and academic excellence. I am honored to be part of a team that fosters a positive and nurturing environment for our students. With 13 years of experience in education and a passion for student success, I am committed to supporting the mission and vision of Beaverdam Elementary. My background includes a strong focus on curriculum and academic achievement, student engagement, and being an advocate for students and educators. I believe in the power of open communication and collaboration between educators, students, and parents. My favorite quote is, “Education, then, beyond all other divides of human origin, is a great equalizer.” (Horace Mann) Together we can create a supportive and enriching learning environment that empowers students to reach their full potential. I am originally from Buffalo, NY, and do not miss the snow. After high school, I joined the United States Marine Corps and fell in love with North Carolina. After leaving the Marines, I received my degree in criminal justice and worked in the Department of Corrections for two years. This experience solidified my passion for education and I returned to school to earn my Bachelor in Elementary Education from East Carolina University. After graduation, I worked as a 2nd and 5th-grade teacher at Cleveland Elementary School in Johnston County. I returned to school through the NELA program and received my Master's in school administration from North Carolina State University. I have spent the last five years as an Assistant Principal at Benson Middle School. I am currently completing my doctoral degree in School Supervision and Administration.

On a personal note, I enjoy volunteering at the ASPCA, where I recently picked up my best friend Milo. Spending time with my friends and family, riding my motorcycle, going on vacations, and learning about new cultures. 

I am excited to get to know every one of you and look forward to a great school year.
