Today marks the final day for our Junior/Senior High School Principal, Tony McCoy, as he officially begins his well-earned retirement! Mr. McCoy is also an Elmwood graduate and held many titles while in this building: student, athlete, graduate, teacher, coach, parent, and principal.
With 28 years of dedicated service to our students, staff, and families, he has left a lasting legacy of leadership, compassion, and commitment to education. From mentoring teachers to cheering in the stands at Friday night games, Mr. McCoy has been a pillar of our school community. He has instilled the values of The Trojan Way in our community for decades.
As you can see, he's already moved out for Mr. Bell to move into his office. Please join us in thanking Tony for an incredible journey and wishing all the best in this next chapter! Once a Trojan, Always A Trojan 🧡🖤 #TheTrojanWay
