Mrs. Danielle Allen

Welcome to Hurt Park Elementary School! I am blessed to be serving as your principal.
I grew up and went to school in Cary, NC where my parents and brother still reside. I graduated with my B.A. degree in History with minors in Political Science and Psychology from Virginia Tech. I remained in Blacksburg and earned my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. I received my Leadership Certificate from Lamar University. When you get to know me you quickly learn that being a Virginia Tech Hokie is one of my greatest accomplishments and cheering on their athletic programs is one of my greatest joys.
My career in education began right here in Roanoke City at William Fleming High School where I completed my student teaching. Since then I have served as a teacher at James Breckinridge Middle School and most recently as Assistant Principal at Fallon Park Elementary School. I am proud to have served Roanoke City Public Schools for my entire career and am extremely excited to begin the next part of my journey at Hurt Park with all of you.
