Dear Kenneth Murphy and Oak Crest School Families,
I am writing to inform you that Brianne Berry will no longer be serving as the Assistant Principal at Kenneth Murphy and Oak Crest Elementary Schools, effective immediately. We are grateful for the dedication and service Brianne has provided to our students, staff, and families, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
To ensure strong and consistent leadership during this transition, Alexa Young will step in as the interim Assistant Principal at Oak Crest Elementary for the remainder of the school year. While Ms. Berry has split her time between Oak Crest and Kenneth Murphy, Ms. Young will only be working at Oak Crest. The District Office will provide support to Kenneth Murphy for the rest of this school year on an as needed basis.
Alexa brings a wealth of experience to this role. As an Instructional Coach at Beach Park Middle School, she has played a vital role in supporting staff with curriculum implementation, instructional practices, and student engagement strategies. Her background includes extensive work in tier-one instruction, data-driven decision making, and fostering positive school cultures. Alexa is deeply committed to equitable education, staff collaboration, and creating safe, supportive environments for all students. Her leadership style is rooted in honesty, proactive communication, and a strong belief in the growth and success of both students and staff.
We are confident that Alexa’s knowledge, passion, and steady leadership will provide Oak Crest Elementary with the support needed to finish the school year strong.
Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and families. Should you have any questions or need additional support during this time of transition, please do not hesitate to reach out.
In Partnership,
Dr. Denise Wilcox
Superintendent
