Welcome to Monett Elementary School

Hello MES Families! 

I’m honored to serve as the principal of MES, where my greatest joy is helping students feel valued, inspired, and excited to learn. I’m blessed with a wonderful family—four sons, three amazing daughters-in-law, and the sweetest grandbaby who lights up my world. Outside of school, I enjoy pickleball, hiking, and disc golf, all of which keep me active and remind me of the value of fun and perseverance. One of my passions is helping kids discover the joy of reading, knowing it opens doors to imagination and lifelong learning. At MES, I’m committed to leading with heart and creating a community where every child can thrive.

Karly Drake, 

Monett Elementary School Principal
