Dr. Kelsey Beth McCollister

Welcome to G.W. Trenholm Primary School! In 2026, I was honored to become the principal of this amazing school. I am proud to serve the students, families, and staff of G.W. Trenholm, where we work each day to build strong foundations for lifelong learning.

I have spent my career serving students in Tuscumbia City Schools as a classroom teacher, instructional math coach, and school leader. These experiences have strengthened my passion for helping students succeed and supporting teachers in providing high-quality instruction.

When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Matthew, and our two children, Elsey Sue and Coye Holland. I also enjoy traveling, attending my children’s activities, and cheering on the Deshler Tigers.

I truly love working with children and helping them reach their full potential. I believe every child can learn, grow, and succeed when given the right opportunities and support. It is a privilege to partner with our families and community as we work together to help every child thrive. Welcome to the G.W. Trenholm family!
