My name is Tamara Nelson and I am the Principal of Sophia P. Kingston Elementary. It is an honor to serve as the Instructional Leader of the school where I not only started my career but where I attended school as a child. I graduated from Selma High School in 1989 with honors. After graduation, I attended Alabama State University and earned a bachelor's and master's degree in Elementary Education. I later returned to Alabama State and earned a second master's in Instructional Leadership. This school year marks my 29th year in education and I have loved every minute of it!
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Marcus, and our sons, Devontae, Juvontae, and Tarmatra. I also enjoy spending time with my granddaughters Hannah, Zuri, and Skyler.
