J.W. McKinney was nominated by a friend, Dena Hensley.
Mr. McKinney is the principal at South Central Elementary School. He is dedicated to the students, staff, and community. This has been very evident during recent events regarding flooding in our community due to Hurricane Helene. His dedication to the students' families and our school has been over and above normal duty. The school was quickly turned into a mini store where community members could come to receive food, showers, and many other items needed to help them recover. He is always thinking of ways to encourage, model, and build up the school.
