Mrs. Jaime Pate, Principal
Hi! I'm Jaime Pate. I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher. I graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary and Special Education (K-6). I received a Masters in Educational Leadership from the University of West Alabama. In 2011, I attained National Board Certification.
This is my 18th year in education. I've taught Kindergarten, First, and Fourth Grades. After serving as Assistant Principal at NES for three years, I'm excited to now serve as principal! I am blessed to be able to touch the lives of over 600 people every single day. We truly have the best kids & staff around!
