Karen Melillo
I am so excited to be a part of the Weatherly Heights Elementary School family as your principal! I was born and raised in Huntsville and graduated from Sparkman High School. I have primarily worked as a teacher and administrator in Huntsville City Schools.
My husband, Marc, is the In-House Learning Center teacher at Hampton Cove Middle School. We have one daughter, Gianna, who is the light of our lives. I love all things Disney, and you will rarely see me without a Dr. Pepper close by! I also love traveling, snorkeling, and photography.
