Administrative Staff Changes Announced for 2013-2014
Melanie Wall | Millicent Dickey | Calub Courtwright | Georgia Westmoreland | Tony Hemingway |
Four Clover schools, including three elementary schools and one middle school, will have new principals next school year.
The changes, prompted by the retirement of longtime Clover teacher, coach, and administrator Judy Krenzer, who for the last 7 years has served at the district level as testing and teacher evaluation coordinator, will take effect July 1. Her career spans 34 years, including 27 in Clover.
With major state and national changes looming for accountability, standardized testing, and teacher evaluation—all handled by Krezner—the district is creating two new positions to handle the task. Melanie Wall, who has been the principal of Clover Middle School since 2010, will become the director of testing and accountability. Millicent Dickey, who has been the principal of Crowders Creek Elementary School for the past seven years, will become the director of teacher quality.
With the appointment of Wall and Dickey to district level positions, new principals will lead Clover Middle and Crowders Creek Elementary.
Calub Courtwright is moving from Bethany Elementary, where he led the school to national prominence as one of the country’s top performing Title 1 schools, to Clover Middle. He has been a teacher and administrator in Clover for 14 years, the last three at Bethany. Georgia Westmoreland will move to Crowders Creek Elementary after serving as the principal of Larne Elementary for the past five years. She has worked in Clover for 22 years and was named the district teacher of the year in 1999.
Replacing Westmoreland at Larne will be Tony Hemingway, who has been an assistant principal at Crowders Creek for the past two years. He previously served under Westmoreland as an assistant principal at Larne for three years.
Keeping with recent history, the vacancy at Bethany will likely be filled with by an internal applicant and an announcement is expected later this month.
