Congratulations to Mrs. Kayla Rather, Rockwood Middle Schools new Assistant Principal! When I moved back to Roane County, I landed at Rockwood Middle where I have taught math for the last eight years. I have so much love for this school and community. RMS is a great place and I can't wait to step into my new position where I will help our teachers and students continue to be successful. Go Tigers!
Congratulation to Stephanie Collins! I am honored and excited to be the new ½ time assistant principal/interventionist at Kingston Elementary. This will be my 26th year as an educator and 15 of those have been at KES. I have served as a middle and elementary teacher and as a math interventionist. I am a Tennessee Tech graduate with a B.S. in Elementary Education and a M.S. and ED.S in Instructional Leadership.
KES is an excellent school with a dedicated faculty and staff, exceptional students and a
supportive community. I look forward to working with our students and community and helping KES to positively navigate our students' futures.

This week teachers from the schools in Oliver Springs attended The Chatt Fab Institute. They were stretched outside of their comfort zones when asked to answer the following question: How can digital fabrication tools be used to create an interactive interpretation of an expression of art? These teachers rose to the challenge and created a fabulous piece! The challenge asked them to use tools, learn to code, work together and communicate in ways they had never thought about. They left with lots of knowledge, a deeper understanding of what students face when presented with Essential Questions requiring them to use brand new skills and thought process to solve, and a network full of teachers who learned to support each other and find success.
The Chattanooga Fab Institute is a 3-day digital fabrication conference presented by Public Education Foundation and Hamilton County Schools that offers educators an opportunity to engage in authentic experiences with 3D printing, laser engraving/cutting, vinyl cutting, CNC routing, micro-computing, and much more!
This was the 5th annual institute for educators eager to learn more about how the world's largest FabLab network, VW eLabs, is transforming education!
My name is Mrs. Billie Goldston. I am honored to accept the Assistant Principal position at Cherokee Middle School! I look forward to serving the students, families, faculty, and community. Over the past 22 years in education, I have focused on building strong relationships, preparing students for success, both in and out of the classroom, and encouraging others to “change the world”. I truly believe there is magic in education and every student deserves the very best we can provide! I am excited to be a part of the Cherokee family!
