Hello East Fallowfield Family!

My name is Mrs. Melissa Willis and I am the proud principal of East Fallowfield Elementary School.  I am entering my ninth year as an administrator in the Coatesville Area School District and am so proud to be the principal of this amazing school for the last 6 years. Prior to arriving at East Fallowfield, I was the assistant principal at North Brandywine Middle School for 2.5 years.  I  learned so much from my time in the middle school and truly miss my NBMS family!

Before making the leap into administration, I began my teaching career in the Norristown Area School District at Gotwals Elementary School.  Soon after, I was hired as a classroom teacher in the Kennett Consolidated School District where I taught fourth and second grade for 10 years.  I absolutely loved my time there and will carry those wonderful memories with me forever.

I received my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish from Shippensburg University, in Shippensburg, PA in 2005.  Later, I went on to receive a Masters of Science in Education: Curriculum, Instruction and Technology from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. In 2015, I completed my second Masters Degree, this time in School Leadership from Wilmington University. 

When I am not at work, I love to spend time with my husband Andre and three sons, Zahmere, Zahki and Legend. They are the joy of my life.  I love to read, listen to all kinds of music, spend time with my family and friends and cheer for the Philadelphia Eagles!  E-A-G-L-E-S!
