Clemmons Elementary School: Message From the Principal
Hi! I am Tom Keener, principal at Clemmons Elementary School. I am so excited to be here as the new principal. I bring over twenty years of administrative experience, which includes years of experience at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. I have also served a wide range of school populations. From that, I know that all children can learn, and all children have a desire to learn, even when they think they do not.
For over 33 years, I have been married to my wife, who is a professor and former college administrator. We are blessed with two really terrific daughters, each of whom have brought their husbands into our growing family. In our family, our greatest delight for my wife and me is our granddaughter, hopefully a future Clemmons Elementary student.
Being a parent, grandparent, educational administrator, teacher, and member of our community, I am committed to seeing that the students at Clemmons Elementary School (CES) achieve their best. CES has a reputation for excellence. Student proficiency scores have consistently been at the top of the district and among the top ten percent in the state. Still, each child brings potential and challenge. We can not rest upon the past to build the future. Instead, we must continue to move forward, ever learning, growing, and progressing in our knowledge of methodology and curriculum to help students be able to compete in a demanding global environment.
To accomplish this means communication and commitment among home, school, and community to support our students by creating a school that offers ways to meet different learning styles, different learning paces, and the challenges of a growing body of knowledge. We are fortunate to have tremendous parental support. Their support has resulted in many classrooms being equipped with top notch equipment.
My hope is that if you are reading this, you are doing so because you are willing to share in meeting this challenge for our students. I welcome your assistance!
