I am honored and thrilled to serve as principal of Greeneville Middle School (GMS). GMS has a rich tradition of academic excellence, exceptional extra-curricular opportunities, and phenomenal school spirit. My goal is to continue to work in partnership with the students, staff, and families to ensure a safe and thriving school environment. I believe cultivating a rich learning environment with high expectations focused on meeting the needs of the “whole child” is essential for the success of all our students, and I will work hard every day to support our staff and students to do so.

 In addition to serving as GMS principal, I am mom to an amazing 16-year-old and a band mom! My husband and I enjoy traveling, working out, being outdoors, cooking, and playing games. I enjoy reading, both professionally and for pleasure. I am passionate about equity for all students and spend time working with a volunteer committee researching, writing, and sharing strategies with other professionals about equity for all students. 

 I hope your child’s middle school experience at Greeneville Middle School is enjoyable and challenging as we prepare our students socially, emotionally, physically, and certainly academically for a successful future. I know we are faced with a great deal of uncertainty at this time, but I can assure you that the faculty and staff of Greeneville Middle School is working hard to ensure all of our students have an excellent educational experience. Please contact me by phone at (423) 639-7841 or email at  GMSPrincipals@gcschools.net if you have any compliments, suggestions, questions, or concerns. 

 Sincerely,

 Dr. Rachel Adams, Principal
