FLINT HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL ANNOUNCEMENT

FORT MILL, SC —The Fort Mill School District is excited to announce the selection of Michelle Gritz as the Flint Hill Elementary School Principal. Ms. Gritz has served as Principal of Sugar Creek Elementary School since 2013.

Ms. Gritz’s career is deeply rooted in the Fort Mill School District. She began as a second-grade teacher at Springfield Elementary School before advancing to assistant principal, a role she held both at Springfield and, later, at Sugar Creek Elementary when it opened in 2009.

Ms. Gritz holds a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, a Master’s degree in Reading, and a certification in Educational Leadership, all from Winthrop University. Originally from Miami, Ms. Gritz grew up in a bilingual household and is fluent in Spanish, an asset that strengthens her ability to connect with and support our diverse community.

Flint Hill Elementary School is scheduled to open in August, 2025.

“I’m excited to open Flint Hill Elementary and work with our staff, students, and families to build a positive, engaging school community,” Ms. Gritz said. “I look forward to creating a supportive environment where every student feels valued and ready to learn. I can’t wait to see all that we’ll accomplish together.”
