Principal’s Message
Hi Terrapins, I’m Amy Plonk! I’m a wife to Darrell and a proud mom to Emma, 20, and Eli, 17. As a family, we love traveling and making memories together. One of our favorite adventures has been visiting Major League Baseball stadiums—we’re on a mission to visit all 30, with just five left!
I’m beginning my 29th year in education and am a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I spent 23 years as a classroom teacher before earning my master’s degree in school administration from Gardner-Webb University and beginning my journey in school leadership. I am beginning my 5th year in administration at Tuttle and I'm loving every minute of it!
I’m passionate about building relationships, supporting others, and creating a school where students and staff feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of the Tuttle Elementary family and look forward to another wonderful year together!
Warm regards,
Amy Plonk
