Principal Jennifer Sherman
I am honored to be the Principal at McKinley Elementary School. McKinley School is a small and diverse school community built around strong academics and traditions. The staff, parents, and community at McKinley Elementary School are dedicated to the belief that all students will be successful learners. Through student-centered experiences, students will master the skills to work cooperatively, have a feeling of self-worth, accept responsibility for their performance, be literate in reading, and be able to utilize their academic skills to be problem solvers and responsible citizens. I am excited and privileged to be part of the dedicated staff and family community at McKinley Elementary School.

Dear McKinley Families,
I am absolutely thrilled to introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal who will support McKinley Elementary School! It is an incredible honor to join this vibrant school community, and I am filled with excitement as we begin the 2025–2026 school year together.
One of the things I’m most looking forward to is walking through the classrooms and witnessing the amazing learning, creativity, and curiosity that come to life each day. McKinley has a proud tradition of excellence, and I can’t wait to see the passion and dedication of the students and staff in action.
Equally important to me is building strong, meaningful connections with the families and community. I believe that when schools and families work hand-in-hand, our students thrive. I am eager to partner with each of you to support every child’s success.
Here’s to a year filled with growth, collaboration, and unforgettable moments. I look forward to an incredible 2025–2026 school year with all of you!
Warmly,
Blake Hardeman
Assistant Principal
