Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Shauna Schubiger moved to the Grand Strand area over eleven years ago and has been employed by Horry County Schools for the past ten years. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Graphic Arts/Technology Education from the College of New Jersey, a Masters Degree in Educational Technology from Kean University, a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from Ramapo College of New Jersey, and a PhD in Educational Leadership from Coastal Carolina University. Dr. Schubiger served as an elementary principal in New Jersey and is currently the Principal of Socastee Elementary. Under her leadership, Socastee Elementary’s South Carolina State Report Card increased eight points in one year and is currently the second highest of all elementary schools in Horry County and in the top 5% of all Title I schools in the state. Her staff, students, and families are her passion, and she works tirelessly to support their needs. Socastee Elementary School is such a special place to work and learn. The diversity amongst the school community helps to instill compassion, respect, and love within everyone that walks through the front doors. Two of Dr. Schubiger’s main goals for her students is that everyone understands their individual potential for success and positively contributes to the greater good of the world equipped with the tools to make a difference.

My name is Heather Daminov, and I am one of your assistant principals here at The Socastee Elementary School.  I've been in education for over twenty years.  I've had the pleasure of teaching Kindergarten, first, fourth, and fifth grades.  I love watching children learn.  I also served as an instructional coach for many years before becoming an Assistant Principal which I have done for the last ten years.  In additional to being an educator, I am also a wife and mother of four.  While at home, I enjoy listening to books while I run, and taking care of our new puppy, Marcie Paige. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve these children and this community.  I love being a Shark!
