Principal

My name is Nicole Gaumond. This is my third year as principal of Dr. W.J. Creel Elementary. This is my 16th year as an educator. I have taught kindergarten, second, third, and fourth grades. I earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education from The University of Montevallo in 2003. I also hold a Master's in Educational Leadership from The American College of Education. I have been married to my wonderfully supportive husband, Kyle. We are blessed to have two beautiful children. My daughter Presley is nine and loves all things related to dance. Our son Grayson is five and loves anything related to being outside and sports. My family and I enjoy spending time at the beach and traveling together. As the principal of Dr. W.J. Creel I hope to serve every child with excellence as the standard. It is my goal to continue to ensure our students are learning in a safe and supportive academic environment at all times. I am always here to help any student or family of Dr. W.J. Creel. I look forward to another amazing year at Dr. W.J. Creel Elementary where TOGETHER WE WILL ACHIEVE GREATNESS!

Hi my name is Erica Back. This is my second year as Assistant Principal of Dr. W.J. Creel Elementary. I have worked in the public education setting for 24 years. I have taught in both primary and intermediate grades. I earned my Bachelors in Elementary Education from the University of Central Florida (GO KNIGHTS!!) and my Masters in Educational Leadership from Grand Canyon University. I am a Brevard County native who attended Brevard Public Schools for elementary, middle, and high school. I even had the privilege of teaching at the same elementary school I attended as a child. I am married to my wonderful husband and we have two sons ages 23 and 18. Our oldest son got married last November and our youngest will embark on his senior year of high school where he plays varsity football. When we are not working or in school, my family enjoys spending time outdoors… boating, camping, fishing, swimming, riding ATV’s, sporting events, theme parks, etc. I consider it an honor and privilege to serve the Melbourne community as a school leader and look forward to my continued years here at Dr. W.J. Creel! A place where EAGLES SOAR!!
