Union County Public Schools is pleased to announce the hiring of three proven leaders to school administrator positions within our district.
Uniontown Elementary
Mrs. Tina Robinson has been selected as the new principal at Uniontown Elementary. Mrs. Robinson brings 18 years of experience in elementary education and a deep passion for teaching, learning, and supporting students. She is a National Board Certified Teacher and has spent the past 12 years as a fifth grade teacher at Sturgis Elementary. Prior to that, she began her teaching career in Hopkins County, where she taught for 6 years at Earlington Elementary.
“I am excited for this new journey and cannot wait to meet the students, staff, and families that make Uniontown such a special place,” Robinson noted. “I look forward to working together to create a positive, supportive, and successful environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.”
Morganfield Elementary
A familiar face is returning to lead Morganfield Elementary, as Mrs. Kelli Willett has been named the school’s principal.
Mrs. Willett is a veteran educator of 24 years, with 14 of those being spent at Morganfield Elementary as a classroom teacher and Certified School Manager. For the last three school years, she has served as the assistant principal at Union County High School.
She now returns to Morganfield Elementary with a passion to lead the school with excellence. “I am so excited to continue serving this amazing community in this new capacity,” Mrs. Willett emphasized. “Together with our phenomenal staff, I know we will continue to make MES a place where every student feels valued, challenged, and loved.”
Union County High School
Mr. Darrick Baird has been selected as the new assistant principal at Union County High School.
Mr. Baird began his career in education as a chemistry teacher at Madisonville North Hopkins High School and has spent the past 13 years serving students and educators in Hopkins County Schools. Most recently, he served as the Instructional Leader and Assessment Coordinator at MNHHS.
"Returning to Union County as assistant principal is both a professional honor and a personal privilege,” Baird acknowledged. “As a Union County graduate, it is especially meaningful to have the chance to give back to the community and school system that played such an important role in my life. I look forward to serving our students, staff, and families for many years to come.”
The Mission
“At Union County Public Schools, we envision a future where every member of our school family is seen, supported, and inspired,” highlighted Superintendent Dr. Terra Hancock. “Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Willett, and Mr. Baird embrace that vision and will work with families, staff, and community partners to build schools where our students succeed with confidence, character, and bravery. We’re thrilled to welcome these leaders to their new roles, and we look forward to the ways they’ll fulfill our mission to Be Brave, Learn, Lead, and Succeed!”
