Hi everyone! My name is Lindsay Peake and I will be teaching social studies, science, and intervention in 4th grade! I am so excited to be joining the team at East Salisbury. I was inspired to become a teacher because of the impact my teachers had on me. I hope to inspire and encourage scholars to love themselves and learning. Some of my favorite things to do include reading, photography, and spending time with family. I am most excited to build relationships with scholars and grow together!

Hi! I’m Laura Miles, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to join you as your new assistant principal. As a proud graduate of Parkside High School. I’m excited to bring my deep passion for education and social justice to our vibrant school community. With degrees from North Carolina Central University and North Carolina A&T State University including a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Criminal Justice, a Master’s in Teaching, and a Master’s in School Administration. I have taught as an inclusion teacher in Houston ISD, physical education and health teacher in Wicomico County Public Schools at Choices Academy and in Durham Public Schools in North Carolina. I’ve been fortunate to gain a broad perspective on leadership and community engagement. These experiences have shaped my dedication to creating a nurturing and inspiring learning environment where every scholar can thrive and succeed. On a personal note, I’m a huge sports fan, especially when it comes to basketball, so do not be surprised if you see me showing off my favorite sports team gear. I enjoy watching Marvel movies. I’m also a certified sneaker enthusiast and an incredibly proud mother to two amazing daughters, Yurianna and Gabriella. I have a deep love for pretzel salad and seafood of all kinds, and I’m overjoyed to be back home on the Eastern Shore. I can’t wait to meet each of you scholars, teachers, staff, families, and the entire community. Together, let’s build a supportive and dynamic learning atmosphere at East Salisbury. Here’s to an exciting school year ahead!
