The Stephens County Board of Education recently named Jennifer King the next principal of Big A Elementary School in Toccoa.
According to a social media post from the Stephens County School System, the board approved King as the school's next principal at a board meeting on Tuesday.
King will take up the role when current Principal Regina Bayles retires at the end of the school year after 34 years of service.
"Bayles has served Big A Elementary and our School System well and will be deeply missed," the social media post reads. "During her tenure, she served as a teacher, Assistant Principal, and Principal, and we are forever grateful for her excellent leadership and service to Big A Elementary School."
King has served the White County School System for 23 years, serving as the Director of Student Accountability and Elementary Curriculum, Principal of Mossy Creek Elementary, and Assistant Principal of Mount Yonah Elementary as well as a Gifted Resource Teacher for Grades 1-5 and a First and Second Grade Teacher.
King will begin her service as principal on July 1, 2024, for the 2024-2025 school year.
