Meridith Wages-Peck

I am overwhelmed with joy to serve as the principal here at Russell Middle School. My career began at Yargo Elementary where I was in the role of a classroom teacher. I then transitioned to the Bethlehem Elementary community where I served as the instructional coach for three years and the assistant principal for five years. I then transitioned to the middle school level where I worked alongside the wonderful staff, students, and community of Russell Middle School in the assistant principal role. All experiences have afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with exceptional students, families, staff, and the community of the Barrow County School System.

As a proud graduate of Barrow County Schools, I am ecstatic to continue to work with the students, parents, staff, and community of Barrow County. These middle school years are full of opportunity and change. Therefore, we commit to work to provide the most meaningful academic, social, and life-long learning experiences for your children. We are a Role Model School with a Role Model Staff and Role Model Students.

I look forward to getting to know you and want to support you in any way I can. I am eager to witness your children grow, succeed, and connect with the RMS family throughout these years in middle school. I am a firm believer in KIDS and will strive to make decisions based on every child’s best interest. Let’s team up together to make this the best year yet!
