I am truly honored to serve as your sixth principal at Keithville Elementary Middle School. Our focus this year is "Game On Growing Student Character and Success One Play at a Time". I can’t wait to see our students character and success grow this year. My philosophy is that all students can and will achieve their growth no matter what diversity they face in life.
This is my twenty-six year in Caddo Parish Schools. I first began my educational career at Keithville as a classroom teacher and am truly blessed to be back at home with the opportunity to serve as the school’s educational leader. Prior to becoming the principal at Keithville Elementary Middle School, I served as the Principal of Broadmoor Middle Laboratory and the Assistant Principal of Administration at Walnut Hill Elementary Middle School. This is where I learned the importance of values and family. In order for a school to soar towards excellence they must place values back into education.
At KEMS, our students are always put first where they are loved and given a safe place to learn and achieve their goals as proud, soaring, mighty eagles. It is very important that our parents, grandparents, along with friends and the community support our school as we help students create great success as soaring eagles.
Our door is always open for positive feedback and input from students and parents to make Keithville the best school in Caddo!

I am approaching my twenty-third year as an educator in Caddo, and I have been a part of the Keithville Elementary/Middle School family for 16 years. My journey at Keithville Elementary/Middle School started in the spring of 1993 as a student teacher. I have also served Keithville in the capacity of a middle school special education teacher, elementary teacher, administrative assistant, and assistant principal of administration/discipline.
It is a privilege and a pleasure to be a part of a faculty and staff that strives to work together with the parents and the community to provide all students with the optimum opportunity for learning. We all play a vital role in the process of educating and preparing our young people.
My commitment to all stakeholders is to ensure an environment that is safe, positive and conducive to teaching and learning. I encourage the students to be active participants in the learning process, to follow school rules and procedures, and to do their best in all areas of school life.
I encourage parents and guardians to attend parent-teacher conferences and school functions, to be familiar with school policies and programs, to work with your children on home learning assignments, and to model a positive attitude toward school and the staff.
I am excited about serving as the assistant principal of administration/discipline, and I look forward to working with you as we continue our effort to enhance a “World Class School” for our “World Class Students”. My door is always open. Please feel free to come by, call me at (925-1005), or contact me via email at (tdrain@caddoschools.org).
Go TEAM!!!!! Together Everyone Achieves Much

I am so excited to be the Instructional Coordinator at Keithville! In 2008, I joined the KEMS family as a first grade teacher. I love teaching and my position now involves supporting teachers, students, and parents so they can be successful at every grade level.
I love being a member of the Keithville community. I truly believe that it takes a village to raise a child. Our goal at KEMS is to work collaboratively with parents, students, and the community for the benefit of each child because after all, our children are our future!
I am dedicated to providing teachers with the tools and strategies necessary to help your child reach their greatest potential. In addition, parental involvement and communication are crucial elements to your child’s success. Please work with your child’s teacher to make each year a positive and rewarding experience for your child’s future. Thank you for your partnership with KEMS and I look forward to working with you!
