Congratulations to Jason McClelland for being named Principal of Pryor Middle School at the December 11, 2023, School Board meeting.
Mr.McClelland has worked in Okaloosa County since 2005, when he was hired to teach 6-8 grade science at Bruner Middle School. In 2008, he became the Dean of Students at Bruner Middle School and began his journey down the road of administration. In 2011, he was named the Assistant Principal at Destin Middle School. This was a huge turning point in his life. Not just because of the new opportunity, but because his wife, Tracy, was about to give birth to their beautiful daughter, Emma Grace. In 2013, McClelland was given the opportunity to work as the Assistant Principal at Niceville High School, and in 2015, he became the Principal at Mary Esther Elementary. For the last seven years, he has been the proud leader of the Thunderbirds!
For over 18 years, McClelland has worked with amazing people from the Okaloosa County School District. He has had the privilege of working with some of the best in the county and is honored to have had their support along this journey to where he is today. McClelland is the proud husband of Tracy McClelland and the father of Emma. He knows he would not be who he is today without the love and support of both these amazing people.
