Hello, Corinth-Holders Families!

I am so excited to be joining the Corinth-Holders family! I consider it an honor to be able to lead a school with such dedicated staff and supportive parents and community members. As the principal, I will work diligently to continue CHES’ long history of excellence.

This month starts my twentieth year in education. Prior to becoming an administrator, I served as a teacher and an instructional coach. My family and I reside in Wilson County; however, most of my career has been working in Johnston County Public Schools. 

As an educator, I recognize firsthand the importance of consistent communication and strong partnerships between school and home. My goal is to continue to strengthen these partnerships for the benefit of all students. 

As the 2026-2027 school year approaches, please do not hesitate to reach out if I can be of assistance. Thank you in advance for your continued support of our students and school. 2026-2027 will be a great year as we collaborate and work together for our students!

All the best,

Dr. Lauren Hayes

Greetings!

I want you to know that your child is in great hands with the leadership and staff at our school ! I am truly excited to be a part of the Corinth-Holders Elementary team—where we are student-focused, family-oriented, and dedicated to academic excellence by utilizing every available resource to see the WHOLE child succeed.

Let me share a little about myself. This will be my 31st year in education and 18 of those of have been spent serving in the Johnston County School System. I bring experience in teaching Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade, along with three years as a K-5 Title I Reading Teacher and a County Elementary Learning Facilitator. I also previously served as an Assistant Principal at another school in this county. I hold a Master’s Degree in Executive Leadership, K–12 Reading Certification, AIG Certification K-12, and I am a National Board Certified Teacher.

Beyond my professional accomplishments, my greatest earthly joys and blessings are my family. I’m proud to be the mom of three incredible young adults:

Hunter (26) – a firefighter and EMT in Cary

Hayden (22) – a recent "2025" graduate of Cleveland High School with a Life Skills Certificate from HS

Hope (21) – currently in her senior year of Nursing School at Liberty University in VA

I’ve also had the joy of sharing my life with my amazing husband, Michael, for over 30 years. We have just recently acquired another great LOVE a micro Aussie Labradoodle named, "Liberty!" She has taken us back to our toddler days of parenting!

I’m looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and growth for all the CHES Pirates!. Let’s make it a great one—together! ARGHH! Go Pirates!
