Ms. Shalon Tate, Principal of Health, Wellness & Environmental Studies
Greeting Health, Wellness and Environmental Studies Parents and Community,
It is my pleasure to serve you as the principal. My name is Shalon Rolly-Tate and this is my first year at HWES. I'm home grown, therefore Jonesboro Public School is very dear to my heart. I trylu bleed Black and Gold!! Prior to becoming principal, I was the assistant principal at Jonesboro Math and Science Elementary School. In which this allowed me hands on experience in administration before actually taking on the role as a principal. I also taught first grade for 8 years, second grade for 5 years and third grade for 2 years. Although leaving the classroom was hard, I knew I could make a grater impact school-wide. My favorite saying "I'm a MOVEMENT by myself, but I'm a FORCE when we're together." My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood/Elementary Education, a Masters of Science in Education in Reading, a Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction as well as a certification in Educational Leadership. My goal for HWES is to ensure every student is equipped with tools to be lifelong learners. I want to see everyone of my students excel to become whatever their heart desires! Go CANES!!

Welcome to Health, Wellness, and Environmental Studies Magnet School! Thank you for taking the time to visit our school page and learn ways to connect with us! H.W.E.S. believes all students deserve to experience high levels of learning. When families, students and the school commit to partnering together, we become "Unstoppable."
I graduated with my BSE in Elementary Education and with a Minor in Early Childhood at Henderson State University. I received my MSE degree in Education Leadership from Arkansas State University. I am beginning my 19th year in education. I have had the privilege of teaching 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades in the classroom. I also have served as an Instructional Faclitator, Family Liaison, and School Improvement Specialist. I am so excited to now serve as the Assistant Principal at H.W.E.S. Through every opportunity I have grown and maintained the philosophy that building relationships with students and families is the most important part of my job!
I have been married to my husband for 21 years this December and we have two beautiful daughters (Anna Beth and Molly Kate). As a family, we love spending time with our fur babies (Willow and Bubba). We also enjoy traveling, spending time with our church family, and laughing. I personally enjoy reading, taking photographs, shopping, Red Wolf football and coffee.
I look forward to getting to know each one of you! Please feel free to reach out with any questions about H.W.E.S. or Jonesboro Public Schools.
