A Message
from
the Principal...
Leslie
Thomas, Principal
I have been fortunate to be a part of
this community for 42 (ouch) years!!
I attended Clays Mill, Jessie Clark, and Lafayette High Schools.
I did my undergraduate work at University of Kentucky followed by
a Masters Degree at Georgetown College, and then completed my Rank 1 in
Administration and Supervision back at
U.K.
I began my teaching career at Linlee Elementary teaching 3rd
grade, and moved to Northern Elementary where I taught 4th
grade for years. In 1992, I
transferred to Clays Mill and taught 4th and 5th
grades. My principal there
encouraged me to go into educational leadership, and provided me with
many opportunities. In
1997, I took the PSA position at Clays Mill and my administrative career
was underway. I came to Rosa Parks in the fall of 2000, and it
was the best decision I ever made!!
I loved the classroom, and still do, but I do enjoy working with
teachers and parents as well.
A positive environment that is focused on teaching and learning
is priority for me. I believe we have achieved this at Rosa Parks, and we are
continuously looking for ways to improve our instructional strategies
and relationships with our families.
I truly love being able to give back to this community by serving
as your principal. |
