LEESBURG – Kacy Wolfe, assistant principal at Aurelia M. Cole Academy, has been promoted to principal of Leesburg Elementary School. She will fill the role vacated by Leesburg Elementary Principal Susan Jordan, who has been assigned to lead Fruitland Park Elementary as principal there.

“I am incredibly honored,” said Wolfe, who has worked in Lake County schools as a classroom teacher, literacy coach, and assistant principal—first at Eustis Heights Elementary and then at Aurelia M. Cole Academy. “Each of these roles has shaped who I am as a leader and deepened my belief in the power of high-quality instruction, with a strong emphasis on literacy as the foundation of lifelong learning.”

She is passionate about building strong relationships with students, families, staff, and community partners. “I believe that when we work together—with shared goals and high expectations—there is no limit to what our students can achieve,” Wolfe said. “I am committed to fostering a school culture where every child has the opportunity to learn, lead, and achieve. I’m excited to join the Eagle family and the vibrant Leesburg community, and I look forward to partnering with you to create a safe, supportive, and academically rich environment where every student can soar.”
