Mrs. Molly Walsh
I am a product of the Onslow County Public schools where I attended Thompson, Bell Fork Elementary, Parkwood Elementary, Northwoods Park Middle and graduated from Jacksonville High School in 2003. From high school I attended what is now the University of Mount Olive and in 2008 earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Social Studies Education. After graduation, I moved back to Jacksonville and began my career in education. I was given the opportunity to teach and coach soccer at White Oak High School for a wonderful 7 years.
In 2015, I completed my Master of School Administration and Curriculum Instruction from East Carolina University and started my Administration career in August of that year. I was the assistant principal at Richlands Elementary during the 2015-2016 school year and spent two years at Southwest Elementary from 2016-2018. I am excited to continue this journey here at Trexler Middle. I am looking forward to another great year here at Trexler!
My continuous goal is to build relationships with our staff, students and parents to ensure success for our students. Family and relationships are very important to me and will be a vital part of achieving our goals.
