Both of my sons went to Tucker. It was an instrumental part of their lives. We had to move when our company closed in 2001 but it gave them the building blocks to a continued education. One graduated with an Audio Engineering Certificate and is continuing college and working at a Nashville recording studio and the youngest is a freshman at the University of Tennessee.

Tucker is a great school. The teachers and administrators are very helpful, and are concerned about the success of students. They teach more than academics. They want the children to know that they can all be Leaders!

I have two children who attended Tucker and both received an excellent education with teachers that were always supportive of me as a parent. I now work at Tucker after my children have left and can say it is still the school I would choose if I could do it all again!

As the principal of Tucker Elementary School for the past 10 years, I think of the parents, students, and staff as "family"! Tucker believes that each student has unique leadership skills. Our PTO and parent coordinator are a key part of our school's success. Please feel free to drop in or call anytime.
