Mrs. Kelly Joleyn Withrow
I am honored to be the 2023-2024 Patriot Principal! I am grateful to be part of such a devoted and talented group of educators at Battleground Elementary that put the needs of our students first! This school holds a special place in my heart. I am excited to be returning to the school in which I spent the majority of my teaching career.
I am looking forward to new challenges, positive changes, and the opportunity to serve the Battleground community. As an educator and a parent myself, I understand the vital role that family plays in a child's education. I want to encourage you to be an active participant in the education of your child. When all parties work together, student achievement will follow.
Please do not hesitate to share your ideas, suggestions, and concerns with me. I look forward to working alongside you, as we ensure continued growth and achievement for our students of Battleground Elementary.
