Hello!  My name is Monica Moon and I am the Assistant Principal at Russellville Middle School.  I have been in education for 18 years with experience teaching Pre-Kindergarten, First Grade, and Computer/Tech. I also served as Assistant Principal for West Elementary School for four years before joining the team at RMS in 2021.  As a Russellville High School graduate (class of '99), I count it a blessing to continue my career in this school system and community.  

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Chris, for almost 22 years. Together, we have two beautiful daughters, Morgan and Ashlee, who have also been so fortunate to experience the traditions of what it means to be a Golden Tiger. Morgan is now attending the University of North Alabama and Ashlee will soon graduate from Russellville High School.  We look forward to seeing what the future holds for our family and the community of Russellville. And, as always, it's GREAT to be a Golden Tiger!
