Principal’s Message

Welcome to 2025! I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing winter break.

During the break a transition happened at CVA- I moved in to the building and began my tenure as principal. This is an exciting new chapter for CVA. Mrs. Short has shared so many positive things about your students and I am eager to get to know each of your families better. I would like to invite you to drop in for a Coffee with the Principal on Thursday, January 16 from 10:00 am - 11:00 am.

Tomorrow is the start of second semester. Help your student be successful by ensuring they log in daily to complete their lessons and assignments.

I look forward to meeting each of you.

Around The Campus

Meet Mrs. Rotan

I am a product of Cabarrus County Schools graduating from Concord High School. After high school, I attended Elon College and NC State University before starting my teaching career at Concord Middle School, where I taught math and science to middle school students. After five years of teaching, I took a break to focus on raising my four children. During this time, I taught as an adjunct at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, and later returned part-time to Concord High School as the Testing Coordinator. When CCS was exploring the addition of the IB program, I transitioned into the role of IB Coordinator, where I researched and received training on IB programs, ultimately helping to establish the program at CHS. In the spring of 2017, I moved into the AP position at CHS.

While I am proud of my career, my greatest pride comes from my family. I’ve been happily married to Aaron for 31 years. My two sons are both grown and independent—Will works in sales in Charlotte, and Jordan is a CPA in Tampa. My two daughters are still in college: Grace is studying nursing at UNC, and Olivia is in Physical Therapy school at ECU.

I am so excited to be joining the CVA family! I look forward to meeting each of you. I hope to see you on January 16th.
