Technology Improvements Are Coming!

We are very excited to be adding 5 new laptop carts and 132 student laptops to our inventory next year. 


New Playground Site is Taking Shape

It's amazing how much you can get done when you have the right tools and the folks at Van Metre and Superior Paving are making our new playground a reality with the use of some heavy equipment. We are hoping for a new playground by opening day. Stay tuned for more pictures. 

Welcome Lisa Shirley, our new 5th grade teacher



Hello! I am excited to start my first year teaching at Creighton’s Corner Elementary! I am from the ChristmasTree Capital of the World: Indiana, Pennsylvania. My third grade teacher, Mrs. Vinton, inspired me to become a teacher and I have made my dream a reality! 
I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. During the 2013 -2014 academic school year, I served as an AmeriCorps teacher at a rural school in Pennsylvania. I had the privilege to work with students and teachers in prekindergarten through sixth grade. After school, I tutored fifth and sixth grade students whostruggled in math.  

Creighton’s Corner is my new home and I am proud to be part of your school family. I’m enthusiastic to start the school year!


Welcome Bethany Banaszewski, our New Third Grade Teacher



"Miss Bethany Banaszewski earned her Bachelors degree from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Early Childhood Education and Special Education in 2013. This will be her first year with the Loudoun County Public Schools, and she couldn't be more excited to join the Creighton's Corner family!

In her spare time, Miss Banaszewski enjoys many different hobbies. She grew up near Pittsburgh and has lived there for most of her life. As a result, she is a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins and tries to watch every game. She also loves to read, write, and ride horses!

Miss Banaszewski hopes her Colts are ready to learn and cannot wait for a very successful year!"

Visiting Mt. Vernon

I always love visiting Mt. Vernon and learning about the father of our country. George Washington was larger than life at just under 6 feet three inches tall and 225 pounds, he was a physically intimidating, yet graceful (he was recognized in many historical documents as an accomplished dancer and horseman) leader. He truly was a principled leader and his distaste for the dishonor of retreat almost cost him the war in New York. By many accounts the man lives up to the legend. It's just a short trip away to see an American Treasure.
