Mrs. Golden, Principal

Mr. Foster, Assistant Principal

I am a lifelong learner and never want to stop. Reading is my passion; travel should be my middle name. Most of all, I have dedicated myself to this profession since 1985 and would not trade it for anything. It is an honor and a privelege to work alongside such a dedicated, caring group of individuals. I am happy to be part of this family.

Hi! My name is Victoria Golden and I have been in education since 2009. I have been at Center Valley since 2011. I taught first grade at Anne Watson Elementary in Bigelow, AR, before coming to Center Valley. I have taught kindergarten, first, third, and fourth grades, as well as serving as the Instructional Facilitator for CVE. I graduated from Arkansas Tech University in 2009 with a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education, and in 2014 I graduated with my Masters in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership. I love to help teachers and promote the growth of their students throughout the year. I am married to Neil Golden and we have a son Gray, and sweet dog, Biscuit. I enjoy fishing, shopping, and spending time with friends and family. 

Russellville School District is committed to Educate, Equip, and Empower Every Child... Every Day.
