For the past
eleven years, I have worked in the Asheboro City Schools in Asheboro, NC.
After being away for three years, I have returned to Guy B. Teachey
Elementary School this year as principal.
Teachey was my first principalship, and this is my true school
family! I enjoy "dressing up" and being goofy with
the kids.. |

I came to
Asheboro City Schools in 1990 as Assistant Principal of Curriculum and
Instruction at Asheboro High School.
During my three years there, we reorganized the school program into
one of the first block schedules and provided training for many high
schools throughout North Carolina. In
1993 I was promoted to principal of Guy B. Teachey Elementary School where
I worked for four years. These
were the most fulfilling and enjoyable years of my professional career. I
left Teachey in 1997 and went to North Asheboro Middle School with the
challenge to stabilize the staff and improve student achievement.
Both tasks were accomplished within two years. Before returning to
Teachey for the 2000-2001 school year, I spent a L-O-N-G year as Director
of Personnel for Asheboro City Schools.
And now I am back at the place I love! |

| Quotes |
You can turn painful
situations through laughter. If
you can find humor in anything, you can survive it. If opportunity
doesn’t knock, build a door.
Milton Berle Fall in love with what
you are going to do for a living. To
be able to get out of bed and do what you love to do for the rest of the
day is beyond words. I’d
rather be a failure in something that I love that be successful in
something that I hate.
George Burns Even the best team,
without a sound plan can’t score.
