Following approval by the Hall County School Board, Jonathan Edwards will assume the role of Johnson High School Principal on Sept. 15.
Edwards will succeed current Principal Stan Lewis, who will transition full time into a position as Director of Communications and Athletics for the Hall County School District.
Edwards began his career with the Hall County School District in 2015 as Assistant Principal and Athletic Director at Johnson. In June 2019, he became the school’s Associate Principal.
"Johnson High School has such a rich tradition, and I am truly humbled by the opportunity to serve our students, our staff and the JHS community in this new role,” Edwards said in a statement last week. “I am honored to continue the work that Mr. Lewis began here.”
Hall County Superintendent Will Schofield plans to make the official recommendation at the school board meeting on Monday, Sept. 14.
“As an Associate Principal, Mr. Edwards has demonstrated the people skills, the knowledge of instruction and most importantly, the heart required to lead Johnson High School,” Schofield said. “He is ready to assume the role of principal.”
