Congratulations to Mrs. Rhonda Bradford! The Dade County Board of Education unanimously approved Superintendent Ingle’s recommendation for Bradford to serve as the next principal for Dade Middle School beginning in 2025-2026. Bradford is currently the DMS assistant principal, and Dade County Schools are confident that this transition will be seamless.
A native of Dade County, Bradford attended Davis Elementary School, DMS, and Dade County High School. After completing her higher education, she returned to her hometown to pursue a career in education. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Lincoln Memorial University.
Employed with the Dade County School System since 2004, she has served in various capacities, including teaching physical education and health at Davis and coaching volleyball, cross country, and track and field.
In March 2023, Bradford was appointed assistant principal of DMS, a role she began with the 2023-2024 school year. Her extensive experience within the district, combined with her leadership skills and dedication to student success, made her an excellent choice to lead DMS as its principal.
