NAESP National Outstanding Assistant Principal for TN - Mrs. Kayla Pesce
Mrs. Kayla Pesce was surprised by Dr. Brian Partin from the Tennessee Principals Association after being named Tennessee’s 2026 National Outstanding Assistant Principal by the National Association of Elementary School Principals. Only one assistant principal from Tennessee receives this honor each year.
Even more exciting, Mrs. Lindie Roden was named runner up after both leaders were nominated by Dr Wilson and completed a rigorous statewide application process.
We are incredibly proud of both of these dynamic leaders. They represent the very best of our profession and serve our students, families, and teachers with excellence every day. 🎉
