Director of Schools

As director of Fayetteville City Schools, it is my pleasure to welcome our students, families, faculty, and staff to the 2026–2027 school year! The start of a new school year always brings a renewed sense of excitement, hope, and opportunity, and I am honored to begin this journey alongside our incredible Tiger family.

At Fayetteville City Schools, our students remain at the center of everything we do. Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to providing a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where all students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe every child has unique talents and limitless potential, and we are dedicated to helping each student succeed.

Throughout the summer, our teachers, administrators, and staff have been preparing for an outstanding year of learning. From creating meaningful classroom experiences to supporting excellence in academics, athletics, arts, and extracurricular activities, we are ready to welcome our students back to schools where they are encouraged to learn, lead, and thrive.

The success of our schools is built on the strong partnership among our educators, families, and community. I encourage parents, guardians, and community members to stay involved and engaged throughout the year. Together, we can create an environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and inspired to achieve their very best.

I am excited about all that lies ahead and look forward to celebrating the accomplishments, milestones, and memories we will make together. Thank you for your continued support of Fayetteville City Schools. Here's to a fantastic 2026-27 school year.

Go Tigers!
