The Shelby Eastern School Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Jim Jameson as the new principal of Waldron Junior-Senior High School. We are excited to welcome him to WHS and look forward to his leadership in continuing our tradition of excellence. Welcome, Mr. Jameson!

Mr. Jameson brings nearly three decades of educational leadership experience to Waldron, having served students, educators, and communities throughout Indiana as a classroom teacher, Assistant Principal, Athletic Director, Principal, and Superintendent. Throughout his career, he has remained committed to creating schools where every student is challenged academically, supported personally, and prepared for success beyond graduation.

Most recently, Mr. Jameson served as Superintendent of Rush County Schools, where he led district-wide initiatives focused on improving student achievement, expanding college and career opportunities, strengthening school safety, supporting teacher development, maintaining strong fiscal stewardship, and building meaningful partnerships with families and community stakeholders.

Prior to serving as superintendent, Mr. Jameson spent thirteen years as Principal of South Decatur Jr.-Sr. High School, where he developed a reputation as a relationship-focused instructional leader committed to academic excellence, student engagement, and building positive school culture. Earlier in his career, he served as Assistant Principal and Athletic Director at South Decatur Jr.-Sr. High School and as a teacher at both Greensburg High School and Kokomo High School.

Mr. Jameson earned his Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Educational Leadership from Indiana State University, Master’s degree in Education from Indiana Wesleyan University and his bachelor's degree from Anderson University. His leadership philosophy is built on integrity, collaboration, transparency, and the belief that strong relationships are the foundation for outstanding schools.
Outside of education, family has always been the center of Mr. Jameson's life. He has been married to his wife, Denise, for thirteen years. Together they have a wonderful blended family that includes daughters Alexa (23) and Brenley (18), along with stepchildren Cody (Amanda), Cole (Molly), and Cayla (Ryan). They are also proud grandparents to Cruz, Cai, Caden, and Cameron, who bring tremendous joy to their lives.

As he begins this new chapter, Mr. Jameson is excited to become part of the Waldron community and looks forward to building strong relationships with students, staff, families, alumni, and community members.

"I am incredibly honored and humbled to join Waldron Jr.-Sr. High School and the Shelby Eastern School Corporation. From my first interactions with district leadership, it was evident that Waldron is a community that values its schools, supports its students, and takes great pride in its traditions. I look forward to listening, learning, and working alongside our outstanding teachers, staff, students, families, and community members as we continue building upon the many strengths that already exist. Together, we will create an environment where every student is known, challenged, supported, and prepared for a successful future."

☀️ We had an incredible field day today! The kids had a great time rotating through stations and bringing their competitive spirits to each activity. While the weather was beautifully sunny, the breeze kept us from enjoying the water games. It truly was a morning well spent for our students and staff as we begin to close out the 2025-2026 school year! Now, on to celebrating our seniors and to finishing strong on finals!

Today marked our first day of the "No Cellphone Trial" as we prepare for our upcoming policy change next year. The energy on campus was incredible! Instead of a hallway full of screens, we saw faces, heard laughter, and watched students actually talking to one another during passing periods and lunch.

It’s amazing what happens when we unplug and reconnect. So proud of our students for leaning into this change with such a great attitude!

Good morning. This message is to let parents know that WHS went on a brief "lock out" this morning to secure our building. There was a car crash on our property and we wanted to ensure that everyone was safe and that law enforcement could properly respond to the situation, which did not involve any of our students or staff. We are currently carrying on normal activity inside the building. Thank you for your understanding.
