Meet the Next Big Man on Campus

Since Mr. Stewart accepted a position as the new principal at Royal Heights Elementary School across town, our interview committee recently approached the task of finding his replacement.  The candidate who rose to the top of the crowd is Kris Garrett (pictured here).  Mr. Garrett impressed us with his gentle spirit and ready answers.  We know that he will be a change from Mr. Stewart, but Mr. Garrett will bring many different skills to our school.  He introduces himself:

I have been married to my wife KyLeigh for 15 years.  We have two children, our daughter Halleigh is eleven and son Ky is eight.  I have taught Science at JHS for 14 years and have coached HS Football at Joplin for 14 years as well.  I am currently the director of our HS Transitions advisory program and a coordinator of our HS Fusion program.  
     
I enjoy hanging out with my kids and occasionally playing golf.  I am excited for the opportunity to work with all Cecil Floyd staff and students.  My wife KyLeigh teaches kindergarten in the district so I know how hard elementary teachers work.  I am thankful for this opportunity and excited to get started.

Welcome to the family, Mr. G!
