A Message from Our Principal
Dear Rural Point Families,
It is with great pride and excitement that I join the Rural Point Elementary School (RPES) community as the newly appointed principal. During my first days at Rural Point, I have had the opportunity to meet many of our talented staff members and even some students and families. In my time with the staff, it has become evident that I am joining a team of educators that is committed to providing engaging learning opportunities while teaching the whole child. The school’s vision of each student experiencing personal success at RPES is clearly in the hearts and minds of our staff members each day, even in the summer time! The support of our community and PTO has also been very evident, which makes me even more eager to work alongside these groups to support our students.
I am joining Rural Point with 20 years of experience as an educator and fifteen years as a school administrator. I taught fifth and first grades in Yorktown, Virginia and became an assistant principal there before serving as an assistant principal in Prince William County, Virginia for four years. For the last ten years I have served as an assistant principal here in Hanover at both Washington-Henry and Cold Harbor Elementary Schools. I also live here in Mechanicsville with my husband, Mike and two children, Grant and Darby. I am excited to be stepping into the role of principal, and I could not be more thrilled that I have the opportunity to continue to serve the students of Hanover County at Rural Point.
As principal, I strongly believe in the importance of providing students with a learning environment that is safe, engaging, and considerate of their needs and interests. I look forward to building positive relationships with the students, collaborating with parents and staff, and continuing to encourage the high level of community involvement that is at the heart of all the Rural Point has achieved. I am truly honored to have the opportunity to serve the students and families at Rural Point, and I look forward to working with each of you to provide the best possible educational experience for our students. Please feel free to reach out to me throughout the year with questions or to discuss concerns or suggestions. I can be reached by email or by phone at 804-723-3580.
In partnership,
Brooke Andriliunas
