100th day

A message from the principal

Aim for Greatness!!!!!  As an administrator, I strive to help our students and staff to always  “Aim for Greatness.”  I believe we have taken steps to help our students to “Believe in Themselves So That They Can Be Unstoppable.”  One way we have done this is with some amazing additions to our staff.  First of all we are happy to have Mrs.  Stephanie Woolfolk as a 3rd grade teacher. Her passion and energy for teaching will be a great asset.  Ms. Stephanie Colter will be moving back to the district office and to fill her big shoes we have hired Ms. Kimber Bidwell, she is already doing a great job as the face of the office.  We are lucky enough to have two former students join us as paraprofessionals, Miss Morgan Turley and Miss Sorel Peterson will be helping Miss Brenna Jellison in the elementary resource room.  Mrs. Maxine Ellis will be taking on the monstrous task of feeding the 250 students and staff at South Central Elementary and Middle School.  Helping her will be Ms.  Amanda Garza.  Mrs. Kristy Phillis has agreed to add concessions manager to her list of duties.  Finally, I am excited at the new coaches that have agreed to work with the students.  Football will be coached by Mr. Cale Willems with Mr.  Tyler Woolfolk assisting him.  Mrs. Ashly Petty has agreed to help Mrs. Patsy Jellison and Mrs. Becca Unruh work with the volleyball girls.  Miss Micaela Jellison will be the head girls basketball coach.  We are sad to see some long time staff members leave but are very excited with the new hires and can’t wait to get the year started.
