Principal

It is my pleasure to continue to serve you as principal this year!  This is my fourth year as Principal of Kay Road and my 10th year in educational leadership. Prior to becoming principal, I had many leadership experiences including department chair, instructional coach, and assistant principal in Peach County Schools and Houston County.  Even with these amazing experiences, I will always be a teacher at heart. I have taught in Peach County. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Georgia, a Masters of Arts in Teaching and a Specialist in Leadership from Georgia College and State University, and a Doctorate of Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. By pursuing lifelong learning, I intend to be an example to students and teachers that we should never stop learning. 

I am married to an educator, Mrs. Sabrina Hall, a second-grade teacher. I am blessed to be the father of two awesome little people, Savanna and Gabrielle.  I have the same expectations for them as I do your children, who I love as if they are my own. I want to see them excel and become productive human beings, who have ample opportunity to become whatever they want to be when they grow up.
