By Albemarle County Public Schools

ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. — Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) has named Erica Broudy as the new principal of Greer Elementary School for the 2026-27 school year.

Broudy will officially assume her new leadership role on July 1. She was selected through the school division’s comprehensive administrator hiring process, which evaluated both internal and external candidates informed by feedback from community members, staff and division leaders.

Broudy joins ACPS from the Virginia Department of Education, where she most recently served as a regional student success coordinator. In that role, she supported 51 schools across the Commonwealth, helping school and division leaders use data to align resources and develop sustainable improvement plans.

Before her tenure with the state, Broudy served as both an elementary and middle school principal. While leading those schools, which included a Title I setting, she guided students to double-digit increases in Standards of Learning pass rates for English, math and science. She also successfully reduced student suspensions and maintained a strong record of staff retention through collaborative leadership.

A former Instructional Leader of the Year honoree, Broudy has also received the Virginia Board of Education Award for Distinguished School Achievement. She has co-authored training handbooks on cultural competency and integration and has extensive training in restorative practices to support diverse student populations. Division officials noted that her background aligns closely with feedback from the Greer community, which sought an equity-driven leader capable of supporting the school’s diverse community.

“I am so excited to join the Greer community and be a part of its long-standing culture of student support and family engagement,” Broudy said. “I look forward to partnering with teachers, families and division staff to provide the very best educational experience for our students.”

Superintendent Matthew Haas said Broudy’s track record of increasing student achievement, family engagement and teacher retention will make her a tremendous asset to the division.

“Erica not only understands how to motivate students to learn, but she also has the heart for deepening community and further fostering Greer’s culture of lifelong learning,” Haas said.

Broudy spent time touring Greer Elementary School and meeting with staff following the announcement.
