The Limestone County School District is splitting off the elementary school at Elkmont into a separate unit next year. The physical location will not change but the younger grades will have their own administration that will focus on the unique needs of an elementary school. The school board chose Haley James, current assistant principal at Elkmont High School, to spearhead this change next year. James has been at Elkmont for two years already and has 17 years in education. Her goal for the next school year is to continue the focus the school developed over the last year.
“We've worked intensely on instruction for reading and math and to improve student achievement,” she said. “I'm excited about staying there because we've been putting so much work in this year. I love helping kids and teachers and I love parents. They send us their best every day and it's our job to help their children no matter what background they come from.” she said.
