Mrs. Janell Starlin

Bio-
Hello Gator Families!

I am excited about continuing my educational journey as your Assistant Principal. As an administrator, I've served at Swansboro High School, Blue Creek Elementary, and now here at Queens Creek. I am committed to creating positive and nurturing relationships with students, staff, families, and the community all while maintaining a learning environment that fosters growth and progress over perfection. I value collaboration with staff and families to benefit student success. 
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Mark for 15 years. He is an 8^th grade science teacher at Swansboro Middle School and is an active coach at the High School and Middle School levels. We have a daughter, Kennedy, who attends Swansboro Middle School. Outside of school, I love family time, pool and beach days, weekend trips exploring surrounding areas, and being a proud Dance Mom.
