Another big win for our school system! Our legislators continue to advocate for the work we are doing in JMCSS. Thanks to Tresure Lillard and the state Treasury Department. #JMCSS #EducationAdvocacy

I am deeply humbled and grateful to be named the 2027 Tennessee Superintendent of the Year. 💙💚 This recognition may have my name on it, but it belongs to the incredible students, teachers, staff, school leaders, families, Board members, and community partners of Jackson-Madison County Schools. Leadership is never a solo journey. I am thankful for every person who has believed in our vision, challenged us to keep growing, and worked alongside us to create better opportunities for children. To represent Southwest Tennessee—and now our great state—is an honor I do not take lightly. JMCSS, this one belongs to ALL of us! 🙏🏆

Longevity pay — TODAY! I certainly appreciate every employee.

Please read the message. 🥹💔

✨🇦🇫This Black History Month, let’s celebrate the incredible contributions of African Americans! As African American, I’m humbled but yet proud to share my journey: 1. The first and only African American superintendent for Haywood County Schools and appointed the first African American principal at Haywood High School (Dorothy Bond) and the first head African American varsity Tomcat football coach (Tim Seymour). 2. The first African American Superintendent of the Year for the Southwest Region ’24. 3. The youngest African Americans to serve as superintendent in Tennessee at age 31. 4. The longest-serving African American superintendent in Tennessee—15 years, plus 3 years at the Department of Education. 5. The only African American to serve three districts as superintendent and at the Department of Education. 6. The longest-serving African American superintendent for JMCSS and the second longest overall. 7. Among the few African American National Blue Ribbon School principals in the state of Tennessee. 8. The first African American promoted directly from the classroom to principal and from principal to superintendent. Together, we can learn, share, and uplift every voice—because every story matters! 🧡🖤💚❤️ #BlackHistoryMonth #EducationLeadership …and now one can understand why I'm unapologetic about serving my God — I know who's “first” in my life.
