TCS Hires New Southview Elementary Principal
Ronika Amerson will start June 17.
The Tuscaloosa City Board of Education approved the hire of Ronika Amerson as the next principal of Southview Elementary School. Amerson comes to the post with veteran experience in the system as a former teacher who once worked at the school she was selected to lead.
"I feel like I was destined for this position. I started at Southview when it first opened so it's like going back home," she said. "I'm looking forward to the new challenges that will face me; I plan on working in collaborative teams to make this work."
Superintendent Dr. Mike Daria said he recommended Amerson because of her background as an instructional leader.
"I believe her background in instructional leadership will help ensure the continued academic outcomes for Southview," said Daria. Her passion for creating high expectations for students makes her an excellent choice."
Amerson holds a Masters in both Elementary Education and Instructional Leadership from the University of West Alabama.
