Dr. Lesley Hill, Principal
I am humbled and honored to serve as the Principal of Trip Elementary School. This is my 26th year in education, and my passion for the profession has grown with each year. I am a product of the Gwinnett County School System and have lived in the Loganville/Grayson area for over 20 years. I have watched as Trip was built and grew into the school of excellence I now have the pleasure of leading.
I look forward to partnering with you and the community to empower each and every student with the knowledge, skills, and character needed in the journey of lifelong learning. I am dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where students, staff, and families want to come to learn. I hope that you will join me in the work!

Crystie Flynt, Assistant Principal
I am honored to continue serving as Assistant Principal at Trip Elementary School. With a strong sense of purpose and enthusiasm, I look forward to another great year of working alongside our incredible students, staff, families, and community partners. It’s a privilege to be part of the Grayson community—Go Rams!
As a proud Gwinnettian, my roots in this district run deep. I attended Gwinnett schools as a student and have spent over two decades teaching and supporting learners across this great school district. My journey has included roles as a kindergarten and third-grade teacher, reading interventionist, and most recently, an instructional coach in the Office of Language Arts & Literacy, where I supported educators across the district.
Alongside Dr. Hill and our dedicated leadership team, I am committed to fostering a safe, positive, inclusive, and high-achieving school culture. I believe that through collaboration and shared commitment, we can ensure every student thrives and reaches their full potential.

Dr. Jessica Jeter, Assistant Principal
Dear Trip Families,
I am truly excited to join the Trip Elementary School community and look forward to an incredible school year filled with learning, growth, and meaningful experiences for our students.
I bring several years of experience in education, including serving in administrative roles, and I am deeply committed to supporting both student achievement and staff excellence. Outside of education, I am a proud mom of two children, a wife of an Air Force veteran, and a dog mom. I am also especially proud to be a Gwinnett County Public Schools graduate, having attended Collins Hill High School.
At Trip, we believe in setting high expectations and working together to ensure every child reaches their greatest potential. Our goal is to create a positive, engaging environment where students and families feel supported, challenged, and inspired each day.
The experience your child receives at Trip Elementary is truly one of the best in GCPS, and I am honored to be part of this school community.
Thank you for your partnership and support we are looking forward to an amazing year together!
Let’s go Rams!
Warm regards,

Heather Lewis, Assistant Principal
It is my great honor to serve as Trip Elementary’s assistant principal. My name is Heather Lewis, and I am a proud Ram through and through! I am thrilled to work alongside you to continue the outstanding success Trip Elementary is known for.
I began my educational career in DeKalb County Public Schools teaching Pre-K and kindergarten, but I always knew I wanted to be back home in GCPS and was fortunate enough to teach at a fellow cluster school for several years. I realized very quickly in my career that leading, serving, and celebrating our students, families, colleagues, and community brings me immense joy and is a top priority for me.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of North Georgia, my master’s and specialist degree from the University of West Georgia. I also have my ESOL, reading, gifted, coaching endorsements and leadership certification. I live in the community with my amazing husband and two beautiful girls, Mia and Harper.
I am a firm believer in relationships first. I’ll work tirelessly to ensure our school is a continued safe place where each and every student comes to learn, grow to their highest potential, and become lifelong learners.
