L.E. Willson Directory

Tennille Sullivan – School Counselor

I’m so excited to be at L.E. Willson Elementary School and to work with our amazing students and families! I earned my BBA in Computer Information Systems and my Master’s in Education in School Counseling from the University of North Alabama. Sheffield has always been home for me. I grew up on Raleigh Avenue, and my very first job in education was right here at Sheffield City Schools. Being able to serve the community I love is such a joy, and I can’t wait to help our students grow, dream big, and reach their full potential!

When I’m not at school, I enjoy reading, theater, and spending time with my family.
