John and Polly Townley Elementary – 2025–2026 School Year

Greetings Bulldog Families,

It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I introduce myself as the new Principal of John and Polly Townley Elementary School!  This will be my 9th year in Everman ISD as an administrator.  Stepping into this role is both an honor and a calling, and I am beyond thrilled to begin this journey with you and your amazing children.

This year, we are marching into the school year with purpose and pride under our theme: “Boots on the Ground – Rooted in Respect, Responsibility, and Safety.” Just like a dedicated unit, our staff is laced up, locked in, and ready to serve our students with courage, compassion, and consistency.

Our vision for Townley is bold and clear:

Engage. Empower. Elevate.
These aren’t just words—they’re our marching orders. We are here to engage students in meaningful learning, empower them to grow with confidence, and elevate every voice and potential in our building.

This school year, you’ll see a team that shows up daily with their boots on the ground and hearts in the mission. We are ready to walk beside your children as they learn, lead, and thrive.  I believe in strong partnerships with families, open communication, and building a school culture where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired.

So, get ready, Townley Bulldogs! It’s going to be a year of momentum, milestones, and magical moments. Let’s make it one for the books—together!

With enthusiasm and purpose,

Principal Charmeka Mills
