(From Joplin Schools)We are thrilled to announce the promotion of Shelby Frakes as head principal at McKinley Elementary! She will succeed Jason Riddle, who retires at the end of this school year.
Ms. Frakes has served Joplin Schools since 2011 when she began teaching at Emerson Elementary shortly before the May 2011 tornado. She later became part of the consolidation of Emerson and Irving Elementaries, having opportunities to teach both second and third grades. Starting in 2021 as Dean of Students at Columbia and West Central Elementaries, Frakes called upon her experience in school consolidation to ensure a successful transition for Dover Hill students. She has served as Assistant Principal at Dover Hill since 2023.
Ms. Frakes earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Missouri Southern State University in 2010 and a Master of Education in Educational Administration from William Woods University in 2018.
“I am honored to join the McKinley Elementary team and continue serving students and families in this new role,” said Frakes. “McKinley’s strong tradition and close-knit community makes it a special place to work. I look forward to building meaningful relationships and working together with staff and families to support every student's success.”
