I’m so glad you’ve stopped by the Principal’s Corner! I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tonya Helms and I have been the Principal at Walter M. Kennedy Elementary for the past two years. I have been in the Pell City School System since 2005 in various roles. I love this school and this district. You will find that our teachers and staff strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where learning is joyful, critical thinking is encouraged, and every child is known and valued. I would encourage you if you haven't already, please connect with us on Facebook under Walter M. Kennedy. By connecting with us on Facebook you will receive school announcements and reminders, classroom highlights, and find out way for families to get involved in our school.

Thank you for being such a vital part of our school family. I look forward to a fantastic year filled with growth, laughter, and discovery.

Warmly, Tonya Helms WMK, Principal
