Bristol Tennessee City Schools is excited to announce Kayla McMeans has been named the new principal of Holston View Elementary School. Ms. McMeans comes to Holston View from Fairmount Elementary where she has been serving as program assistant. She began her career in education in 2007. Before joining BTCS two years ago, Ms. McMeans served as an assistant principal in Sullivan County Schools for four years. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts and Educational Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from Union College. “I am honored to join the Holston View family and to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a strong tradition of academic excellence, innovation, and community spirit,” said Ms. McMeans. “It is my educational vision to ensure that every student feels valued, inspired, and excited to come to school each and every day. I look forward to making meaningful relationships with students, staff, and families while continuing to uphold the values that make Holston View such a special place.” Ms. McMeans will replace Dr. Vonda Beavers, who is currently serving as interim principal. Dr. Beavers will remain in the interim role until a transition timeline is determined for Ms. McMeans. Congratulations, Ms. McMeans!
