Hello My Name Is...
Samuel Wayne West
My name is Samuel Wayne West. I am a graduate of Fort Valley State
University, in Fort Valley, Georgia. After graduation, I worked in the
utility industry for seven years prior to pursuing full-time ministry.
It was during this time when I served as an associate pastor that a
temporary 90-day assignment as a Christian Day Care Director turned into
a twelve year career in Christian Education.
During my twenty
plus years of motivating, influencing and empowering children to reach
their full potential, I have realized that a three-fold cord (parents,
school, students) is not easily broken. I am still a firm believer in
home and school working together for student success.
I have
served as principal of a Kindergarten through 8th grade Christian
Academy, Director of Christian Education, middle school teacher (Rex
Mill Middle School), assistant principal (Elite Scholars Academy Charter
School) and currently I am the proud principal of Church Street
Elementary School in Clayton County, Georgia.
As we move
forward in this year of “Winning With What We Have” I am excited about
the opportunities for growth for our students and our staff. If I can be
of assistance, please feel free to contact me at
