Welcome to Terrace Elementary!

My name is Mrs. Tiffany O'Hara and I am proud to be serving as principal of Terrace Elementary School, part of the Ankeny Community School District, located in Ankeny, Iowa.

After graduating from the University of Northern Iowa in 1989, I began my teaching career serving as a first grade teacher.  I continued my education with Iowa State University from 1991-1993, earning my Masters of Science degree in Educational Administration and then serving as K-8 administrator in a nearby district.  After 14 years in leadership, I joined the Ankeny Community School district in 2007 as building principal of Terrace Elementary School.  I am currently in my fourth year serving the students and families of Terrace Elementary and am proud to serve as both a learner and leader to the staff, students and families of Terrace.  I am currently enrolled in the Specialist program at Drake University, where I continue to grow as a academic leader.

Terrace Elementary school reflects a student population of approximately 400 diverse and unique learners.  Our excellent teachers and support staff are committed to providing a respectful, caring and supportive environment in which all students reach academic success.  We are proud of our students and their academic accomplishments and recognize these each quarter with assemblies and celebrations!

Our staff and students both welcome and value the support of our families, volunteers and resources provided by our outstanding community.  

Please feel free to visit our school.  We would love to share with you all the great learning that is happening at Terrace Elementary School!
