Kernan Trail Elementary is proud to be a Florida Department of Education “A” rated school, continuing our strong tradition of academic excellence and our focus on the growth and success of every child.

Our 2026–2027 schoolwide theme, “Our Trail. Our Team. Goals. Grit. Growth.”, reflects who we are as a learning community. At Kernan Trail, our students are Teammates, our faculty and staff are Coaches, and our families are our Hometown Fans. Together, we set meaningful goals, show grit along the way, and celebrate the growth that comes from hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

I am a proud graduate of the University of North Florida with a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and have proudly served Duval County Public Schools for more than 28 years. It is a privilege to serve as principal of Kernan Trail and to work alongside an exceptional team of educators, students, families, and community partners.

At Kernan Trail, we are committed to providing high-quality, engaging learning experiences that challenge and support every student. Through strong relationships, purposeful instruction, and meaningful partnerships with families, we strive to develop confident, capable learners who take ownership of their learning.

I am incredibly proud of our school community and look forward to another year of learning, growing, and achieving together. We invite you to take a sneak peek inside our learning community by visiting the Kernan Trail Elementary Facebook page, where you can see our Teammates and Coaches learning, growing, and celebrating together.  https://www.facebook.com/KernanTrailElementary

Our Trail. Our Team. Goals. Grit. Growth.
