Three elementary schools in Coral Springs will begin the 2025-2026 school year with new principals bringing fresh leadership to their campuses
Coral Springs, Florida – As the 2025–2026 academic year approaches, three elementary schools in Coral Springs are preparing to welcome new principals to their campuses, bringing with them fresh experience, leadership, and a renewed sense of direction for the community’s students and staff.
Broward County Public Schools recently announced that Parkside Elementary, Country Hills Elementary, and James S. Hunt Elementary will each be under the leadership of newly appointed principals beginning this school year.
At Parkside Elementary School, located at 10257 NW 29th Street, Arlene Manville has been named the new principal. Manville is no stranger to school leadership, having most recently served as principal of Park Trails Elementary in nearby Parkland. Her journey in education began in Broward County as a teacher, and she later served as assistant principal at Park Ridge Elementary in Deerfield Beach. Her extensive background in education and administration has made her a familiar and respected figure within the district.
Over at Country Hills Elementary School, located at 10550 Westview Drive, Laneia Hall will be stepping in as the school’s new principal. Hall comes into the role after serving in a leadership capacity at Parkside Elementary, where she helped guide the school through its recent academic initiatives. Her move marks a new chapter for both her and Country Hills as she brings with her a strong focus on student achievement and school culture.
Meanwhile, Carla Hart has been selected as the new principal of James S. Hunt Elementary School at 7800 NW 35th Court. Hart most recently led Larkdale Elementary in Lauderhill, and her transition to Hunt Elementary is seen as a promising development for the school community. With a proven track record of leadership and a focus on equity in education, Hart is expected to bring energy and vision to her new role.
All three principals are expected to begin their new positions with the start of the 2025–2026 school year. Each of them brings not only years of educational experience but also a passion for helping students succeed and thrive in a positive learning environment.
The leadership changes signal a period of transition for these Coral Springs schools, and district officials are optimistic about what lies ahead. While students and parents prepare for the return to the classroom, they’ll also be getting to know the new faces guiding their schools into the future.
For now, the community is welcoming these new leaders with high hopes for the year to come.
