Administration

Ringgold Middle School's administrative team is comprised of three individuals who have made education their life's work. Each one is dedicated and committed to serving its school community to ensure not only RMS is successful, but also each individual that makes up the student body. Each welcomes you to Ringgold Middle School.

Mr. Mike Sholl (Principal)

Though Mr. Mike Sholl is new to RMS, he isn't new to Catoosa County or school administration. He grew up in the area attending Catoosa County schools and graduated from LFO. He continued his education at the University of Tennessee (Chattanooga) earning a Bachelor of Science degree in education. In addition, he has also earned both a Master's and Education Specialist's (Ed.S) degree from Lincoln Memorial University.

Mr. Sholl began his career at Rossville High School as a history teacher and primarily worked in that field of study for a number of years until he became an assistant principal at Northwest High School. He retained that position for 9 years. He brings to RMS his experience as a seasoned administrator and teacher.

Mr. Sholl is married to Kerri who is also an administrator in the Catoosa County school system. They have three children who attend our schools as well. So, of course, one of Mr. Sholl's hobbies is watching his children play sports. However, he also enjoys golf and gardening.

Mr. Jeff Fricks (Assistant Principal)

Mr. Fricks is beginning his 23rd year in education. During that time, he has taught at every level: elementary, middle, and high school. In addition, he has coached several sports. For most of his years at RMS, he has been responsible for running In-School Suspension (ISS) and coaching both football and baseball. However, he taught physical education the last year before taking the position of assistant principal.

Dawgs or Vols fan? Mr. Fricks earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia. He went on to earn both a Master's and Education Specialist's degree from Tennessee Technological University.

On a personal note, Mr. Fricks is married to Daune who is a tax specialist. They have two grown children. In his spare time, Mr. Fricks enjoys hunting, fishing, and golf.

Mrs. Kim Mullins (Assistant Principal)

Mrs. Mullins has been involved in education as a teacher, department head, yearbook and newspaper sponsor, academic coach, literacy coach, consultant, and literacy director for the past 25 years. While spending 20 years in the classroom teaching English, speech, and world cultures at East Ridge High School, Mrs. Mullins learned many things that will assist her in her position as assistant principal at Ringgold Middle School.

Mrs. Mullins received her Bachelor's degree from Tennessee Temple University and her Master's degree from University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. She continued her studies at Tennessee Tech where she earned her Education Specialist's degree.

When not at school, Mrs. Mullins spends time watching her youngest daughter play volleyball, talking to and guiding her oldest daughter as she continues her studies at MTSU, and assisting her husband with his business. In her spare time, she enjoys teaching step aerobics and perusing the "treasures" found at garage sales!
