Shelby County Public Schools is pleased to announce that Megan Tillery has been named Associate Principal of Elementary Education at Marnel C. Moorman School (MCM).
In this role, Ms. Tillery will oversee all aspects of the elementary program, including instructional leadership, student support, and daily operations. The Associate Principal supports the building principal and serves as a vital bridge between teachers, students, and families while helping drive continuous school improvement.
Ms. Tillery brings a strong background in elementary education and leadership. She has served as Assistant Principal at MCM for the past four years and previously worked in Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), where she held roles as a classroom teacher, math coach, interventionist, and assistant principal.
She earned bachelor’s degrees in Elementary Education and Learning and Behavior Disorders (K–12) from Bellarmine University, a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Union College, and a Rank I in Administrative Leadership from the University of the Cumberlands.
Ms. Tillery and her husband, Josh, an emergency room nurse practitioner at Norton Hospital in Louisville, have two children, Camilla and Jackson, who attend MCM. Their family enjoys supporting their children’s soccer and basketball activities and spending time outdoors on their farm.
“This new role is especially meaningful to me because my passion for MCM is personal,” said Tillery. “It comes from the incredible students, families, and educators who make our school a place where every child can learn, belong, and thrive. I am excited to continue building a culture rooted in growth, acceptance, collaboration, and high expectations, challenging each student to do their best and be their best every day.”
Superintendent Dr. Joshua Matthews said the new structure will strengthen instructional focus and better support both students and staff.
“I am excited about this transition,” said Dr. Matthews. “Ms. Tillery will oversee all aspects of elementary education, from curriculum to discipline, allowing Ms. Sterrett to focus on building operations and middle school instruction. For several years, having two different start times has made it challenging to maintain consistent instructional leadership and has created additional work for our instructional staff. This new structure will streamline our focus, and given the strong relationship and shared vision between Ms. Sterrett and Ms. Tillery, I am confident this model will be highly effective.”
Principal Madelyn Sterrett shared her enthusiasm for the transition and continued collaboration, “I’m excited for our community to welcome Ms. Tillery to her new role,” said Sterrett. “She’s been an integral part of our school for years, and with her leadership in elementary instruction, I know our students and staff will continue to grow and improve. This adjustment will help our expanding community ensure that all areas have a strong focus and vision. I look forward to continuing our work with Ms. Tillery, our administrative team, and our entire staff to provide a great place for our students to learn and grow.”
Shelby County Public Schools looks forward to the continued success of Marnel C. Moorman School under this collaborative leadership model, as the district remains committed to providing high-quality learning experiences for every student.
