🚨 THIS JUST IN: A familiar face is taking the helm as Allendale Elementary’s new principal. WCS Superintendent Jason Golden announced on May 12 that Dr. Anthony Johnson will be the school's new leader.
“Dr. Johnson is a natural relationship builder who has a passion for supporting students, families and staff," said Superintendent Golden.

Over the past six years, I have deeply valued the strong sense of family and community that makes this school so unique. I look forward to continuing our legacy of academic excellence while supporting every student, staff member and family we serve.”
Johnson holds a bachelor’s in interdisciplinary studies K-8 from Middle Tennessee State University; a master’s in administrative leadership from Trevecca Nazarene University; and a doctorate in administrative leadership from Trevecca Nazarene University.
