About Our Principal

My name is Chris Tuft and I am proud to serve as the principal at Balfour Elementary. I began my career in education in 2003 and taught third and fourth grades before joining the administration at Balfour in 2015. My wife, Jennifer, and I live in Trinity and have 4 children. When I’m not at school you can find me reading, cooking, working in my yard, practicing yoga, or going out for a run.

Balfour has a history of excellence. The faculty and staff are committed to empowering diverse learners by engaging our core values of equity, engagement, and collaboration. My goal is for each and every student and family to feel connected to and engaged with the school community. If I can ever be of assistance, please feel free to contact me at (336) 672-0322 or [email protected].
