Meet our Administrative Team!

Principal, Dr. Pamela Cain

Greetings Dowell Community,

I am Dr. Pamela Cain, the proud principal of Dowell Elementary School. It is an honor to lead such an exceptional school filled with opportunities for students, staff, and families. At Dowell, we are committed to academic excellence and the well-being of every child. As a Cobb County Arts Integrated Certified School, our students engage in standards-based instruction enriched through the integration of visual arts, music, drama, and dance. This creative approach fosters deeper learning, critical thinking, and joyful engagement in every classroom.

With 28 years of experience in the Cobb County School District, I bring a deep passion for education and a strong commitment to student growth. I have served as a classroom teacher, Area Lead Teacher, Assistant Administrator, and Assistant Principal at both elementary and middle school levels. Most recently, I spent 10 years as principal of another Cobb County elementary school. My degrees in Early Childhood Education and Educational Leadership—from Kennesaw State University, the University of West Georgia, and Capella University—have prepared me to lead with both compassion and high expectations.

As principal, I am dedicated to fostering a learning environment that is rigorous, relevant, and rooted in respect. I look forward to partnering with you to ensure a successful year for every student.

Here’s to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and creativity at Dowell—where Dolphins thrive.

Warmly,
 Dr. Pamela Cain

Assistant Principal, Tina Clark

I’m Tina Clark, and I’m excited to start my third year serving the wonderful students, teachers, and community here at Dowell! This year also marks my sixth year as an Assistant Principal in Cobb County Schools.  With over 20 years of experience in education, I’ve been fortunate to study at Clark Atlanta University (B.A. in Early Childhood Education), Central Michigan University (M.Ed. in Adult Education & Curriculum), and Berry College (Ed.S. in School Leadership). 

My heart is in building strong relationships with students, supporting and mentoring teachers, and creating classrooms where every child can grow, feel valued, and thrive. Collaboration, growth, and always doing what’s best for kids guide everything I do.

Let’s make it a great year—Go Dolphins!
