Principal
Alcoa Middle School Students and Families,
 

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Alcoa Middle School! I am honored to begin my third year serving as principal, and I couldn't be more excited about what lies ahead for our students, staff, and families in the 2026-2027 school year.

 

As a proud graduate of Alcoa City Schools, it is truly a privilege to serve the same community that helped shape who I am today. Alcoa has always been a special place to me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to give back by supporting the next generation of Tornadoes. I believe our school is built on a tradition of excellence, strong relationships, and a commitment to helping every student grow academically, socially, and personally.

 

Outside of school, I am blessed with my wonderful wife, Kayla, and our three children Shepard, Wells, and Landrie. My family is a continual source of joy and encouragement, and they remind me every day of the importance of creating a school where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.

 

At Alcoa Middle School, we are committed to providing a safe, engaging, and challenging learning environment where students are encouraged to reach their full potential. We know that success is built through strong relationships between our school, families, and community, and we look forward to working together throughout the year.

 

Thank you for your continued support of Alcoa Middle School. I look forward to another incredible year and can't wait to see all that our students will achieve. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. 

Go Tornadoes! 🌪️🌪️🌪️
