Welcome our New Principal!!
My name is Jacob Balls (Mr. B) I am going to be the new principal at Mckinley Elementary. I am beyond excited to be able to work with you and your students for this upcoming school year. I have heard so many wonderful things about Mckinley and look forward to continuing to help students learn and grow.
I grew up in Cache Valley, I attended USU but later transferred to Weber state. I started my teaching career at Kennedy Jr. High in West Valley teaching special education. After a couple of years I moved up to Box Elder Middle School where I continued to teach special education. I then got an assistant principal position at Bear River High School where I have worked the last 5 years. I have grown to love the community and love the students I have worked with.
My family and I live in Brigham City. My wife and I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. We enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, fishing, hunting, biking and camping.


McKinley Families,
It is that time of the school year that we begin to work on class lists. We will not be taking teacher requests again this year. If you have any concerns or information that you would like us to take into consideration while making these lists, there is a form that you can get in the office that you can fill out or you can use this link (https://forms.gle/Jn9sG9SBeuSjppKdA) to fill out a google form.
We know every child has unique needs and personalities and we will do our best to make the most appropriate teacher placement for your child.
Thank you,
Mark Taylor, Principal, McKinley Elementary


Hello McKinley Families,
I wanted to let you know that there was a lockdown at BRMS and BRHS this morning after dispatch received information about a potential threat. The police did not find any threats at either school and the lockdown was lifted. I was in contact with the police department as soon as I found out about the lockdown at the other schools and based on the information available they did not have McKinley go into lockdown. We appreciate how law enforcement handled this situation to ensure the safety of our students.
Thank you,
Mark Taylor, Principal, McKinley Elementary
