Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 school year. My name is Abu Zaeem and I will be serving Shadybrook Elementary School students and families as their principal for the third year. I am excited to be returning to Shadybrook Elementary School. I am looking forward to working with our young men and women and helping them become successful. We have a golden opportunity to influence our children in a manner so that they are prepared to become productive citizens of this great country. 

Since at Shadybrook, we have done some amazing work to move the school from low performing school, with a school grade of a D, to hopefully a B school this upcoming school year. We have an amazing group of professionals who care for our children and want nothing but the best.

I look forward to serving Shadybrook community and continuing on this path to success with our staff, children, parents and community members. Feel free to stop by and visit our school or email me at zaeema@gcsnc.com or call 336-819-2950 if you have any questions or suggestions.  

Let’s have a great 2024 - 2025 school year!
