Welcome to Southwood!
It is with great joy that I introduce myself as the principal of Southwood Elementary School. My name is Allison Garske, and I have loved serving the Southwood community for the past year.
I have worked with students in OCPS for almost 20 years and pride myself on building relationships with students and their families. I understand the unique needs of individual students and have a background in exceptional student education and behavior that supports my work as the principal here at Southwood.
Student learning is a priority for me, and I know every student will have a promising and successful future if we all work together!
I look forward to continuing to collaborate with the families and students of Southwood in the 2024-2025 school year!
