Solomon selected as next principal of Marshall County High School

The Marshall County School District Wednesday announced Shannon Solomon will be the next principal of Marshall County High School. 

Solomon served as principal at Marshall County Central Elementary from 2007-2015 and as principal at South Marshall Middle School from 2016-2022. There, she helped lead the consolidation of two student bodies and faculties of the former Benton and South Marshall middle schools. 

Solomon currently serves as a Deeper Learning Consultant for the West Kentucky Educational Cooperative, a regional co-op supporting western Kentucky school districts in various ways. 

Marshall County School Superintendent Dr. Steve Miracle selected Solomon from a pool of six candidates. He worked alongside the high school site-based decision-making council, which assisted in gathering input from staff, developing criteria for the position, and interviewing candidates. 

“I’m humbled, honored, and excited,” said Solomon. “I’m ready to make connections and build relationships with students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members, so we can work together to support Marshall County students, in order to prepare them for their futures."

Solomon is married to Todd Solomon. They have four children: Patrick Hollowell, Riley Solomon, Madeline Hollowell and Rachel Solomon. She will replace current principal Robin McCoy, who announced her resignation March 29th to pursue missionary work overseas. 

Solomon’s official start date as principal is July 1.
