My name is Tony Sikes and I am honored to be serving in my 1st year as Principal at Ebenezer Elementary School.  I have 27 years of educational experience (25 in Effingham County) including service at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.  I have served in many roles within our system including teacher, administrator, coach, and athletic director.  I previously served as assistant principal at Springfield Elementary for the previous 11 years.  

 My beautiful wife of 23 years (Bilinda) is assistant principal at Effingham County Middle School.  We have two wonderful sons that are current STEM students at ECCA: Joey (12th grade) and Jordan (11th grade).

 Again, I am honored to be serving as Principal at EES and being part of the EAGLE TEAM!  

I graduated from GSU and started my teaching career in North Carolina.  After three years, I moved back to Rincon and taught 4th grade for seven years here at Ebenezer Elementary.   I am married and have a 7 year old boy.  I am so blessed to be the IS/AP at the same school I attended as a child.

I am so excited to be back in Effingham County and be the newest assistant principal at Ebenezer Elementary.  I am originally from Effingham County and graduated from ECHS.  My family has been in Alabama for the last 11 years where I was a third grade teacher and the last 3 years I was an assistant principal of an elementary school.  I am beyond blessed for this opportunity to be back home and to raise my children in this wonderful school district.
