Noblesville Schools announced Tuesday that Tonya Moody has been named the new principal of Promise Road Elementary. She joins Promise Road from Avon Schools where she is currently assistant principal of Hickory Elementary.
Moody brings over 18 years of experience in education including roles as assistant principal, instructional coach, literacy coach, and classroom teacher. She is nationally board certified and has been a presenter for several education conferences. In addition to Avon, Moody has served previously with Noblesville Schools and Westfield Washington Schools.
She holds a master’s degree in reading and literacy from Walden University, a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Illinois State University, and an education administration license from Indiana University.
“We had a strong selection of candidates for this position and Tonya topped our list based on her deep coaching and instructional leadership background, her outstanding interpersonal skills, and her collaborative approach to leadership,” said Dr. Heather Hendrich, assistant superintendent of human resources and safety for Noblesville Schools. “She and assistant principal Billy Fama will make a powerful team in support of Promise Road students, staff and families.”
Moody is a Noblesville resident and shared that she is “incredibly excited to lead Promise Road Elementary.”
“I have a passion for creating spaces where every member of the school community feels valued, trusted, and heard,” Moody said. “This is at the heart of my work.”
Promise Road staff and families will be hearing from Moody soon and will have an opportunity to connect with her in person next month. Moody begins officially on July 1.
