My name is Courtney McKinney and I am honored to be the Principal of Big Creek  Elementary.  I am thrilled to be able to serve our students, staff, and community at this wonderful school!  I have taught kindergarten through fifth grade and enjoyed each one! I have two boys, Will and Trent, who are in college and attend Forsyth County Schools.  In my spare time, I enjoy going to the beach,  attending sporting events, and spending time with family.   If I can be of assistance, please reach out to me.  I am looking forward to a fabulous year.
