Mrs. Deshone Hedrington

  • Welcome to the 2024-25 school year!
     
    I am very excited to join the phenomenal team at R. Frank Nims Middle School as the Principal in Transition.  
    I started my educational career thirty years ago as a beginning teacher at Belle Vue Middle School (1993-2003). After my appointment as an assistant principal in 2003, I successfully served as an APC and APA at the secondary level (Lincoln, Belle Vue, Cobb and Leon respectively) for twenty-one years.
     
    I eagerly anticipate returning to middle school to meet all stakeholders, especially our wonderful gems in the Trojan 'Halls of Excellence'. I am intrigued by the "Awesomeness" of R. Frank Nims Pre-Law program, diverse & accelerated course offerings, increased performance on standardized tests, and last but certainly not least, the lifeblood of it all-the dedicated staff and faculty. 
     
    A new school year brings a fresh start with new goals and new challenges to overcome. As I enter a new environment, I will face challenges, but we will find solutions and grow together. Thus, let me know how I can serve you. Together we stand in the spirit of Hope, Care and Love, Motivated to "A"chieve without limits.
