Loretto High School (Loretto, TN)

Good luck!!!

Please help us welcome Brandon Alldredge, our new Assistant Principal/Athletic Director!

My name is Brandon Alldredge, and I am excited to join Loretto High School as the new Assistant Principal and Athletic Director.

I live in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, with my wife, Paige, and our daughter, Harper. My wife is also an educator, and our family has always been passionate about education, athletics, and serving our communities.

I graduated from the University of North Alabama with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education. While at UNA, I had the opportunity to play football, an experience that taught me the importance of teamwork, accountability, discipline, and leadership. I later earned a Master’s Degree in Special Education from Auburn University, as well as a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and an Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership from the University of West Alabama.

I have spent the past 16 years working in education in both Tennessee and Alabama. Throughout my career, I have served students in a variety of special education settings and have worked closely with families, teachers, administrators, and support staff to help students succeed. In addition to my work in education, I have coached football, basketball, and soccer at both the junior high and varsity levels.

I am passionate about building relationships, supporting teachers and coaches, and creating opportunities for students to be successful both in the classroom and through extracurricular activities. I believe strong schools are built through positive relationships, high expectations, and a commitment to serving students.

I am honored to join the Loretto High School family and look forward to getting to know the students, staff, parents, and community. I am excited to get started and become part of a school and community with such a rich tradition of success.
