Hello Lott Middle School Community. My name is Melissa Whigham, and I am thrilled to reintroduce myself as your new principal. Many of you might remember me from my time as the assistant principal here during the 2017-2018 school year. With over 26 years in education - 15 of which were spent teaching and 11 in administration - I am honored to bring my experience and passion back to this exceptional school. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a master’s in education, a specialist degree, and Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership from the University of South Alabama. My commitment to fostering a culture of learning and excellence aligns seamlessly with Lott Middle’s mission.
At Lott Middle, we will emphasize the importance of being prompt, prepared, polite, productive, and patient.These core values are vital for creating an environment where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. I am deeply grateful to all the parents, and guardians who have entrusted us with their children’s education. Your support is invaluable, and I look forward to collaborating closely with you to achieve our shared goals. On a personal note, I enjoy reading and spending quality time with my family, which brings me great joy and fulfillment.
Thank you for welcoming me back to the Lott Middle School family. I am excited about the journey ahead and look forward to getting to know each of you.
