“As the new principal at Paducah Middle, I look forward to working with students, parents, staff, and community leaders to advance the vision of academic excellence and cultural diversity, and to promote the character and values of our school,” said Houston Jones.

“We’re excited that Mrs. Houston Jones will be the new principal at Paducah Middle,” said Superintendent Donald Shively. “She has a passionate vision to know each child by name and need.
