Karen King Principal of West Side School attended a statewide conference for education leaders Tuesday night in Nashville. Ms. King was amongst the nine state finalists for the Tennessee Principal of the year award. Also named last night was the Supervisor of the year, which was chosen from 8 finalists. “Strong leadership plays a fundamental role in student learning, and it is our honor to recognize these individuals that have led their district and school to great success,” said Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman. “We are grateful for what they have done to prioritize the needs of students and improve outcomes for kids.”
The annual Principal of the Year and Supervisor of the Year awards recognize administrators who have helped build a better education for Tennessee students through their leadership, programs, and vision. Although Ms. King didn’t win the overall award, she did get recognized for being chosen as Principal of the Year in the Upper Cumberland region.
