Spessard Holland Elementary Names Media Center for Longtime Principal Melody Butler
A familiar face returned to Spessard Holland Elementary last week.
Longtime principal Melody Butler visited the school for a dedication ceremony naming the media center in her honor. Butler served as Spessard';s principal from the day it first opened in 2009 until her retirement in June.
The school';s current principal, Dr. Lacey Golden, said Butler played a major role in developing a culture at Spessard that persists to this day.
“Mrs. Butler believed that everyone can be successful here at Spessard — everyone has their moment to shine,” Golden said. “She has created a legacy here of a school that feels like home. We want to continue that feeling and atmosphere.”
