Hey Explorer Nation! My name is Mr. Dane Jones and I am EXCITED to be back as your Assistant Principal of this GREAT Explorer Family for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year! It is going to be a fun year full of learning and new adventures. I cant wait to see what this year has in store for us! I was born and raised in Goldsboro, NC. I am married to Morgan Jones, who teaches 4th grade at Princeton Elementary! We have 3 kids who always keep us busy. My oldest son Avery is 15. My daughter, Abbie, is 12 and my youngest son, Conner, is 10. We canr forget about our furry dog, Pixie! I graduated from East Carolina University in 2009 with my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. After a few years in the classroom, I went back to East Carolina University and received my Master's Degree in School Administration in 2016. Even though I graduated from East Carolina University with my Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree, I am a HUGE UNC Fan! Go HEELS!! As we all embark on this journey this school year, let's all remember that we are in this for the kids. I can not wait to work with Mrs. Sabo and all stakeholders of East Clayton Elementary to help make a meaningful impact on our students lives!
