Welcome to East Elementary

Melissa Childs

It is my pleasure and honor to introduce myself as the principal of East Elementary. I am extremely proud and excited to be a part of this K-5 school community and to support our students and families. I began working in the Waynesville R-VI School District in 1996. All three of my children have graduated from the Waynesville School District. I am proud and happy to continue serving the families of this community. 

I view education as a lifelong process. Most importantly, I bring a belief that the students are at the center of all school-related decisions. I am excited to bring my experience, my openness to learn, and my child-centered approach to supporting our students and staff. I encourage you to become involved in every way possible.

Melissa Childs, Principal
