Mrs. Pamela Stepko was named the new Assistant Principal for Cumberland County Elementary School (CCES) at the May 2, 2024, meeting of the Cumberland School Board. Mrs. Stepko, who currently serves on the CCES Intervention Team, will assume her new position on July 1, 2024.
Mrs. Stepko has a Bachelor of Science degree from Longwood University and a Master of Science degree in Educational Leadership, also from Longwood University. She completed her student teaching at Cumberland Elementary School prior to accepting a teaching position at Nottoway Public Schools, where she was the Lead Teacher for Blackstone Primary School. She also served her administrative internship at Cumberland Elementary School and received her endorsement in administration and supervision from the Virginia Department of Education. At CCES, Mrs. Stepko taught Pre-K, second grade, and third grade, and she served as assistant principal at CCES before stepping into her current role as interventionist, which she requested after expanding her family.
Mrs. Stepko has experience in curriculum development and alignment, facilitating professional development opportunities, and designing assessments. She was the recipient of the 2016 Impact Award for Region 8, given by the Virginia Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (VASCD). This award is presented each year at the VASCD Annual Conference to one educator for each region. The winner must exemplify excellence in teaching, learning, and leadership. In 2022, Mrs. Stepko was also awarded the prestigious Milken Award, which Teacher Magazine nicknamed the “Oscars of Teaching.”
According to Chip Jones, Superintendent of Cumberland County Public Schools, “I am excited to see Ms. Stepko step back into the school administration. She has breadth of knowledge that will assist Ms. Tillett in moving CCES forward and continuing the momentum initiated by Ms. Gills and the entire elementary school team.”

Fleenor Finished 2nd in showmanship and 3rd in his heifers weight class. K. Womack finished 2nd in showmanship and 2nd in her heifers weight class. B.
