Members of the Leadership Haywood County class toured all the schools on Thursday, February 7, during Education Day. The day began at the Central Office with a greeting from Superintendent Teresa Russell and a few words from all Central Office staff members about what they do. The class then toured Anderson Early Childhood Center and Haywood Elementary, Haywood Middle School, HHS, the HHS Career and Tech Center, East Side Intermediate School and Sunny Hill Innovative Learning Center.

“Comments about the day were very positive,” Leadership Board member Rita Hathcock said. She, along with board members Tammy Barr and Bob Hooper, facilitated the class. Leadership Class members are Vincent Harvell, Tim Chapman, Terry Chambers, Teri Robinson, Senica Cephus, Renee Moss, Regen Thornton, Joyce Pirtle, Johnny Bradford, Joey Geter, Holt Pritchett, Glenn Stoots, Clinton Francis, Drew Magruder and David Prine. Pictured with the class at HHS Career and Tech Center was Superintendent Russell. Culinary arts students, under the direction of Vickie Noles, prepared lunch for the class. The class has two more sessions before graduation in April.
