Karen Edwards

With a deep passion for education and a commitment to student success, I am dedicated to creating an inspiring learning environment for all students.

I pursued my educational journey at Union University, where I obtained both a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. These formative years laid the foundation for my professional growth and ignited a lifelong dedication to the field of education.

Driven by a desire to expand my knowledge and leadership skills, I pursued further academic endeavors. I successfully completed a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Austin Peay State University, which has empowered me with the expertise to effectively lead Thelma Barker Elementary with vision and determination.

During my tenure with the Jackson Madison County School System, I have had the privilege of serving in various roles, including classroom teacher, magnet facilitator, instructional coach, and assistant principal. These diverse experiences have equipped me with a broad perspective and a profound understanding of the multifaceted nature of education.

Beyond my professional life, I find immense joy in my personal roles as a wife and mother. I am proud to be married to Wyde Edwards, Jr., and together we are blessed with two wonderful sons, Wyde III and Myles. They inspire me to be a better educator, leader, and advocate for all children.

I am thrilled to be part of the Thelma Barker Elementary School community. Together, let’s make a lasting positive impact on the lives of our students.

Warm regards,

Karen Edwards
