Jared Belew
Principal
I currently am serving in my eighth year as principal of Spout Springs School of Enrichment after serving four years in the assistant principal role. Prior to moving into administration, I served ten years as the media specialist at Spout Springs. I also taught in the classroom setting for five years at Kilpatrick Elementary in Clayton County. I have been married to my lovely wife for twenty-six years and we have three children that keep us both quite busy! I am honored and humbled to serve this great community and always will look for ways to make the school the best it can be.
Lauren Gleason
Assistant Principal
I’m thrilled and truly grateful to be part of the Spout Springs School of Enrichment family! With 21 years in education, I bring a wide range of experience, including roles as an instructional coach, homeroom, ESOL, and gifted teacher.
I’ve been married to my husband, Patrick, for 10 years, and our two children, Rivers (8) and Ava Grace (5), will be joining the Spout Springs family too! When we are not at school, you can find us at the baseball/softball field!
Together, we will create a vibrant, positive learning environment where rigor meets authentic relationships, and a growth mindset drives every student to reach their full potential. Let’s make this year one of growth, connections, and success for all our Seminoles!
