Principal of West End Middle. Driven to unlock the power within all learners! Views here are personal and do not reflect the views of MNPS. (He/Him/His)
We’re very fortunate to have a local economy with fundamental strength right now.
Our administration is focused on broadening access to prosperity and tackling rising expenses.
We’ve had some recent successes with housing and transportation, but there’s more work ahead.
Helping out the Edgehill Neighborhood today. Come on out and get some clothing, hygiene items, toys, food, and infant care items. Happy to partner with YaiPak Outreach and @westendmiddle@WestEndPTSO
I join those mourning today’s loss of Rev. James Lawson.
He represented the best of us and trained activists to withstand the worst of our nature. And thus changed the course of Nashville's history when we became the first city in the South to desegregate its downtown.
The Reverend James Lawson was a moral giant of the 20th and 21st centuries, a man who changed Nashville and the nation with his unshakeable commitment to justice, freedom, nonviolence, and love. We’re proud to have named our newest high school for him, and we will continue to honor his memory and profound legacy.

@JeffreySheehan Thank you, sir!
Working with these kids is special and they deserve to know that we care. I appreciate all the support you and the @westend community have provided. It takes a village to raise a child and I’m proud to be included with you in this community.
I intentionally only viewed puppy, kitty, and cute videos on X recently. Now I have a feed of only those. I LOVE these videos, but believe that connectivity apps that only show us the same content are dangerous to our democracy? Take a deeper look here, America. And puppies…
So proud that my teens, former @EakinEagles & @westendmiddle Ss, are part of the theater program at Hillsboro. (Clara is stage manager & Ava is Makeup Chief.) Hillsboro has great academics, but the theater & arts programs are superlative. #SeeAShow@ErinOHaraTN@MrStephens3
What a kickoff! We gained many new ideas from Kelly Bulbulkaya at Sylvan Park Paideia. We appreciate the warm welcome and breakfast from the @SylvanParkPTO l! #MNPSLibraries#PineapplePD
Gov. Lee's universal voucher program would devastate public schools in every school district in Tennessee. Visit https://t.co/Cqr9WL8kRY to stop voucher expansion now!
Key points from research among districts involved in the study:
MNPS was 3rd among top 100 large districts in math growth from 2022 to 2023
MNPS was 6th among top 100 districts in ELA growth from 2022 to 2023
MNPS was one of two top 100 districts in the Top 10 in both math & ELA
Based on the district's strong student outcomes resulting from intentional efforts to accelerate learning progress, MNPS was featured in a recent national study on academic recovery coming out of the pandemic. The details are on our site today.
