Dr. Alicia Gallaway, Principal

Hello Wildcats, Wildcat families, and future Wildcats,

I’m truly honored to join the Widewater Elementary School community as your new Principal. With 16 years of experience in education—from teaching third grade to serving as a reading specialist and assistant principal—I’m deeply committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where every student feels valued and supported. My goal is to work hand-in-hand with families, staff, and students to nurture academic growth, kindness, and a sense of belonging for all. Having been recognized as Mentor Teacher of the Year, I understand the importance of collaboration and encouragement in helping both students and educators thrive. I look forward to getting to know the Widewater family and building a strong, caring community together. I earned my degrees from Bowdoin College, Cambridge College, and Walden University, and I’m excited to bring my passion and experience to this wonderful school.

Sincerely,

Dr. Alicia Gallaway

Ms. Natasha Perry, Assistant Principal

I am thrilled to join Widewater family as your new Assistant Principal.

I bring a strong background in special education, instructional coaching, and educational leadership to Team Stafford. I most recently served as a Special Education Coordinator for Stafford County Public Schools, where I supported schools in strengthening specialized instruction, leading professional learning, and advancing evidence-based practices for students with diverse learning needs. Prior to joining Stafford Schools, I served for nearly a decade in Prince William County Public Schools as an Autism Specialist and Teacher of Students with Autism.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to supporting both educators and students through collaborative leadership, instructional coaching, and continuous improvement. I have led division wide professional development, partnered with school teams to enhance classroom practices, and developed resources that promote inclusive, supportive learning environments where all students thrive.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education from Liberty University, my Master of Arts in Education from the University of Phoenix, and completed my Administration and Supervision Certification through Liberty University.

I am excited to continue my leadership journey with Stafford Schools and look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together as a Widewater Elementary community.
