Principal's Message

A Warm Welcome to the School Year!

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

Welcome to Ray Reynolds Middle School. My name is Shannon Lockard, and I am honored to be your Principal.

I have been in education for 19+ years, serving as a middle school teacher, literacy coach, assistant principal, and principal. I am delighted to start my fourth year as the principal at Reynolds Middle School where we strive to provide a comprehensive and inclusive education, closing the opportunity gaps to ensure student learning and success for all students.

At Reynolds we GROWL, which means we demonstrate Growth, Resilience, Openness, Wisdom, and Leadership. Reynolds Middle School staff believe in the power of collaboration to ensure the success of all students. In Professional Learning Teams, our dedicated teachers determine the most effective teaching strategies to engage students and promote mastery of standards across all content areas. By fostering a culture of collaboration, rigorous learning experiences, and student support, we aim to create a nurturing educational environment where each student feels valued, supported, and motivated to achieve their goals.

I am incredibly grateful to serve at Reynolds Middle School with our exceptional team. We are excited to embark on a new school year and eagerly look forward to partnering with you in educating and supporting your child. 

Warm regards,

Shannon Lockard 
Principal of Ray Reynolds Middle School
