Mrs. Teresa Sauls - Principal
Hello East Newton Family! I am Teresa Sauls, and I am honored to serve as the new principal for our school. I began my career in January of 1996 as a high school English teacher at Newnan High School in Coweta County. I moved to Newton County and began working as a Reading and English teacher at Cousins Middle School in the fall of 1996. I taught and coached there for ten years before moving on to teach high school English again at Alcovy High School when it opened. I then transitioned to become a graduation coach at Indian Creek Middle School in 2007. I became an Assistant Principal for the newly opened Clements Theme School in 2009, and then moved to become the Assistant Principal at West Newton Elementary in 2010 where I served for six years. In 2016, I transitioned to the Assistant Principal position at Mansfield Elementary School where I remained for seven years.
I enjoy time with my family, which includes my husband, Scott, our four children, Mallory, Madison, Caleb, and Cade, our two son-in-laws, Drew and Chris, and our granddaughters, Harley and Naomi. I believe in high expectations, exceptional instruction, and in building relationships and community. I am excited to get to know all of my students and families here at East Newton Elementary School!
