“I am humbled and honored to be the next principal of Brentwood Middle School,” said Barkley. “I could not be more excited to have the opportunity to continue working with the students, parents, teachers and staff of the Brentwood Middle Community. I look forward to working together as we continue building upon the longstanding tradition of excellence that has been established at Brentwood Middle School in academics, the arts, and athletics.”

Barkley holds a Bachelor’s in Mathematics Education from Lee University, a Master’s in Educational Leadership and a Doctorate in Leadership and Professional Practice from Trevecca Nazarene University.

He will begin his new role July 1.
