I am very excited to be starting my first year as the principal at Sully Elementary School!  It is an honor to be joining the Sully community.  I look forward to working closely with the staff, students, families, and community to create an environment where all students are able to thrive and develop a love for learning.  

Prior to coming to Sully, I served as a 5th grade teacher at Rolling Ridge for five years prior to serving as the assistant principal for 5 years.  While teaching at Rolling Ridge, I was named the 2016 Loudoun County Teacher of the Year.  Prior to coming to Rolling Ridge, I taught three years in Cumberland Elementary in Cumberland County, VA as a reading teacher and one year at Bacon District Elementary in Charlotte County, VA as a science teacher.  While teaching at Bacon District Elementary, I was named the Elementary School Teacher of the Year in Charlotte County.  Quality instruction is at the core of everything that I believe about education.  I look forward to working with the school community to ensure that the needs of every student at Sully are met this school year.

My educational experience includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Elementary Education from Bridgewater College and a Master’s Degree in Education with a concentration in Administration and Supervision from Shenandoah University.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wife Layne, who teaches at Ashburn Elementary, and my daughters Harper, Kennedy, and Bailey.  I also enjoy watching movies, hunting, and watching the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Orioles play.

I know that this is going to be a great year at Sully Elementary School!  If you need anything, I am always available.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  You can reach me using email at john.tuck@lcps.org or by calling the school.

Mr. John Tuck, Principal
