Mr. Rodney Ragland

Hello.  My name is Rodney Ragland, principal of West Jefferson Elementary School.  I have been in the education field for 24 years.  I began my teaching career at Berry Middle School in Hoover, Alabama.  I then joined the Jefcoed family and spent 10 years at Bragg Middle School, 2 years at North Jefferson Middle, and 4 years at Mortimer Jordan High before moving to the Central Office as an instructional coach.  I served the last 2 years as an assistant principal at Corner High School.  I am honored to begin my journey as a principal at WJES!

 

My wife, Brandie, and I have been married for 24 years.  We have three children: Foster (20), Sydney (16), Bryson (11) and a dog named Obi.  My wife and I have also served as children's pastors at ChristWay Church in Gardendale, Alabama for 24 years.  

 

I look forward to working with the faculty, staff, students and community to move West Jefferson forward through hard work and building relationships.  If I can ever be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.
