Dear Lion Families,
I am Dr. LaRhonda Mathies and it is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the Principal of Mill Creek Leadership Academy (MCLA). I am thrilled to welcome you to the 24-25 school year! I am so glad that you have entrusted MCLA to provide an enriching learning experience for your child. We are passionate about the development of the whole child by growing student leaders and engaging our students’ families and community. While your child is a student at Mill Creek Leadership Academy, we will strive to ensure they feel safe, supported and a sense of belonging to our family as they learn at the highest levels of academic excellence.
This is my first year at MCLA, but my 22nd year as a veteran educator in Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS). I served for 18 years as a classroom teacher, instructional coach and resource teacher in JCPS. I have recently served as the assistant principal of Coleridge-Taylor Montessori Magnet School for 4 years. I am a lifelong resident of West Louisville and a graduate of duPont Manual High School, the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville. I am looking forward to working with students, staff, parents, and community advocates in ensuring opportunities for ALL students, both academically and socially.
Sincerely,
Dr. LaRhonda M. Mathies
