Bartlett City Schools is pleased to have two regional level semi-finalist named by the Tennessee Department of Education. Mrs. Deidra Harrell, PreK teacher at Oak Elementary, for Teacher of the Year and Sharonda Rose, Principal at Rivercrest Elementary School, for Supervisor of the Year. Congratulations to both of them for this outstanding accomplishment. We will them well in the next round of the competition.
Mrs. Harrell exemplifies all that is right with public education! Her class may start as a diverse group, but it quickly becomes a family. She not only teaches the little ones all they need for kindergarten, but she also teaches their parents how to be partners in education as well so that everyone that goes through her classroom finds success in school. She does all this with positivity and love as she stays in touch with former students along their journey. She can often be seen taking pictures around campus for social media and helping capture memories of their short time together. It is an honor to serve with her and her contagious passion for our youngest students.
Mrs. Rose earned a Bachelor's Degree from Tennessee State University and obtained her graduate degree and administrative license from the University of Memphis and Bethel University. Her overall educational experience spans twenty years, five of those as principal of Rivercrest Elementary. She spent eleven years as a classroom teacher, two years in BCS Student Services, and three years as an assistant principal. Prior to becoming principal, Ms. Rose was one of 26 assistant principals in Tennessee to be selected as a fellow for the Governor's Academy for School Leadership through Vanderbilt University. Under her leadership in Bartlett, she has helped lead rivercrest to Reward School Status, Level 5 Designation, and most recently became the first school in Bartlett to become Tennessee STE(A)M Designated through the Tennessee Department of Education
and Tennessee STEM Innovation Network.
