Welcoming Mikayla Montgomery: The New Principal at Dr. Walter Cunningham School for Excellence
We are thrilled to welcome Mikayla Montgomery as the new principal of Dr. Walter Cunningham School for Excellence. With a deep passion for leadership and community, Montgomery is eager to lead Cunningham to new heights.
Reflecting on her journey, Montgomery shared, "I want to make a difference in our community, and what better way to do that than by helping students and staff see the greatness in themselves." Her vision is to inspire and empower, and her leadership will undoubtedly be both compassionate and transformative.
Returning to Cunningham feels like coming home for Montgomery, who spent 11 years at the school before taking on a role with the Area Education Agency (AEA) last year. "Cunningham is home!" she says. "This is where I began my teaching career and grew as an educator."
Montgomery’s goals for the year include reducing chronic absenteeism, driving academic gains, and fostering a strong family atmosphere. Her approach is summed up in her chosen hashtag, "#ALLIN," reflecting her full investment in making Cunningham live up to its name of Excellence.
As we embark on this new school year, we are thrilled to have Mikayla Montgomery at the helm. Her return to Cunningham is a testament to her dedication and love for the school, and we look forward to the positive impact she will undoubtedly have on our students, staff, and community. Welcome back, Principal Montgomery—we’re all in with you!

Are there after school activities (practices)today?
Why would there not be an even earlier dismissal with the heat?
Starting already this year. Got a message and call at 715 saying the bus is running late. My daughter’s pickup time was 636. This is why people don’t trust you can pull off busing more kids longer distances.
