Rodney has over fourteen years of experience with the Madison City School System.

He encourages his faculty to continue their own commitment to professional development and lifelong learning.
The Madison City School System serves students in the Cities of Madison and Triana and was established in 1998 after separating from the Madison County School System. Horizon Elementary is one of seven elementary schools of the System and has a current enrollment of 646 students. With summer break in full swing, Rodney likes to remind his students to accomplish the following: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand and then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw.
