Message from the Principal

Dear McKinley Community School Families, Students, and Staff,

It is with incredible excitement and pride that I introduce myself as your new principal and welcome you all to the 2026-2027 school year! Whether you are a returning Mustang or joining our herd for the very first time, you are now a vital part of our vibrant school community, and I am absolutely thrilled to embark on this journey with you.

Right now, in the heart of summer, our hallways are quiet—but they are ready and waiting to be filled with the energy, curiosity, and pure joy of learning that our students bring. There is something truly magical about the fresh start of a school year, especially as your new leader, and I cannot wait to see all the unique ways our Mustangs will grow, shine, and lead the way this year.

This upcoming year is going to be absolutely packed with opportunities to learn, create, and connect! Together, we will celebrate every achievement, tackle new challenges with resilience, and make unforgettable memories that will last well beyond the classroom walls. Every single student, parent, and staff member plays an important role in making McKinley a safe, welcoming, and inspiring place to be.

Dr. Tatianna McBride

Principal, McKinley Community School
