About Beacon Elementary School

Hello Beacon Families,

My name is Sharon Hampton, and I am thrilled to embark on this journey as the new principal of Beacon Elementary School. With a Bachelor of Science, a Master of Education and an Education Specialist degree from Wayne State University, I bring over 20 years of experience in teaching and Literacy coaching. I am proudly entering my sixth year as a school administrator. My vision is centered around transforming education by ensuring every student has equal access to opportunities for success. I am dedicated to fostering an environment where equity is not just an ideal but a reality, and where students learn to advocate for themselves in every setting. I aspire to create a world where acceptance and high expectations are the standard, not the exception. It is a profound honor to serve the Beacon community, and I embrace this responsibility with great enthusiasm. I look forward to a year filled with innovation, achievement, and growth for every student at Beacon Elementary.
