Veteran Teacher Returns as Principal

2011-06-02T07:25:49-04:00

Technically, Danita Ellis is just settling in to her new office at Southwestern High School. In some ways, however, it’s like she never left.
Ellis is the new principal at Southwestern, taking over the role that opened up when former principal Patrick Richardson slid into an assistant superintendent’s position with the Pulaski County School System.
“This is the only position I’ve applied for as principal,” Ellis told the Commonwealth Journal. “I’m very excited to be back in the Southwestern community. The students are great, the staff, the parents — everyone.”
Ellis is very familiar with the school. She was a teacher there “when the doors opened,” spending nine years instructing Southwestern students in the area of mathematics.
