For the start of this year, Dr. Amanda Whitworth has taken the role of K-8 Dean of Students. She was teaching third grade science and ELA before she moved to this position.
The former dean of students was Mr. Ryan Kennah, who was Dean of Students in the middle school for two years before Dr. Whitworth came into office.
“I recently earned my principal’s certificate and was ready to move out of the classroom,” Dr. Whitworth, said. She said that some of the challenges of being Dean of Students are going between the two K-8 buildings and also having to work through different schedules.
“She is doing a great job!” Mr. Jim Gregg, middle school art teacher, said. He also said that she holds people accountable for their behavior and gives them consequences. We all welcome, Dr. Whitworth.
