Principal's Message

Greetings Lewis Families! I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Principal of Roland H. Lewis Elementary School. As I enter my fourth year as the principal at Lewis Elementary, I am excited about the upcoming school year and continuing to ensure Lewis is a place for opportunity and where students want to be. Becoming a Panther at Lewis Elementary School has enlightened me to what a successful school is all about. Faculty and staff, community business and community leaders, families and parents, and dedicated volunteer groups come together with one goal in mind...to support the success of our students. Together we will build a successful future. We are the Proud Panthers!!!!

Melissa Babanats, Principal
