A former assistant principal at Rock Springs Elementary School has been tapped to lead the school.
Director of Schools Dr. Jimmy Sullivan announced today that Monica Wilkerson has been named the next principal of the elementary school in LaVergne.
“Mrs. Wilkerson currently serves as the principal at David Youree Elementary but previously was the assistant principal at Rock Springs from 2013 to 2019,” Director Sullivan said. “While leaving a school is hard, leading one of the largest elementary schools in the state is a unique opportunity that presents amazing possibilities. I look forward to working alongside Mrs. Wilkerson in ensuring the success of the students, staff, and community of RSE.”
Wilkerson is a veteran educator of nearly 25 years.
After six years serving as an assistant principal at Rock Springs, she was named the principal of David Youree Elementary in Smyrna, where she has served since 2019.
“I’m excited to return to where I got my leadership start,” Wilkerson said. “We've built something pretty great here at David Youree from our start in 2019. I’ve developed this collaborative leadership style that I want to take to Rock Springs to see it from beginning to end again. I want to take that to Rock Springs because it is an amazing school with a great community.”
Rock Springs Elementary serves grades prekindergarten through fifth grade with more than 1,200 students.
Wilkerson succeeds former Rock Springs Elementary Principal Denielle Fuller.
The David Youree Elementary principal position will be posted immediately by the school district.
