Welcome our new school mascot- The Blue Monarch
The blue monarch butterfly, as the mascot for Opequon, embodies transformation, growth, and resilience. Just like the butterfly, our young students are on an exciting journey of learning and development. The blue monarch’s vibrant colors represent the joy and creativity that fill our classrooms, while its delicate wings symbolize the support and encouragement we provide as they explore and discover their potential. Embracing the blue monarch reminds us that, with patience and care, every child can blossom into their best self.
Mrs. Rebekah Eyler, Principal
I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to embark on this new adventure in my career at the primary level in my 30th year with Berkeley County Schools. My aim is to cultivate an environment where a love for learning is nurtured, ensuring it becomes a lasting foundation for our students' future endeavors. I look forward to continue my work in this community.
Mrs. Kelly Comer, Assistant Principal
I am incredibly excited and grateful to be at Opequon Elementary! I'm looking forward to getting to know our families in the Opequon community. I've taught for 11 years in Berkeley County and have been an administrator for the past four years. Not only will I be serving as your Assistant Principal, I'll also be participating as a parent as I have two daughters who are enrolled as well! In my spare time, you can find our family on the soccer field or in the dance studio, or simply playing outside. I'm passionate about getting the most out of everyday and ensuring that students get the best education possible. Thank you for welcoming me into your school community!
