Principal Derica Turner

Welcome to Audelia Creek Elementary! I am honored to serve as your principal and excited to join this incredible school community. Throughout my career, I have been guided by one simple belief: every child deserves a high-quality education, a committed teacher, and a supportive community. I am passionate about building meaningful relationships with our students, staff, and families because I believe that when we work together, there is no limit to what our children can achieve.

As we begin this journey together, my commitment is to create a school where every student feels safe, valued, challenged, and inspired to learn each day. We will focus on building strong systems that support teaching and learning, developing our talented educators, and creating opportunities for every Stallion to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe in celebrating successes, learning from challenges, and holding ourselves to high expectations because our students deserve nothing less.

I am excited to partner with you as we continue writing the next chapter of Audelia Creek’s story. My door is always open, and I look forward to getting to know each of you, celebrating our accomplishments, and working together to create a culture where every student thrives. Thank you for welcoming me into the Audelia Creek family—I can’t wait to see all that we will accomplish together!

Dear Audelia Creek Elementary Families,

It is with great pleasure and excitement, and I am honored to join The Audelia Creek community and begin this new chapter with such an amazing campus.

As I begin my 29th year in education and celebrate my 10th year in Richardson ISD, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving students, families, and educators in a district that I proudly call home. Prior to joining Audelia Creek, I had the privilege of serving in a variety of educational roles, including classroom teacher, coach, special education facilitator and Assistant Principal. These experiences have strengthened my belief that every child can achieve success when they are supported by caring educators and engaged families working together.

I am committed to partnering with our students, parents, staff, and community to fulfill Audelia Creek’s vision of Every Student. Every Day. The Creek Way. 

I look forward to an outstanding school year filled with learning, growth, and celebration as we watch our students flourish both academically and personally.

Please know that my door is always open. If you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to introduce yourself, I encourage you to reach out. I am excited to partner with you as we make this an incredible year at The Creek!

Respectfully,

Gale Haynes
Assistant Principal
