Hall County Schools Superintendent Will Schofield says he will recommend Jim Carter for the soon-to-be-open principal job at Sardis Elementary School next month.
Schofield announced the recommendation Friday, saying it will be made to the school board at its June 12 meeting.
“Mr. Carter’s compassion and courage will enable him to build relationships that are critical in continuing to move Sardis Elementary School forward,” Schofield said. “His keen sense of process, as well as his expertise in early literacy, will be assets to student learning. We are excited for the Bobcat Nation and what the future holds for the students, the staff, and the community.”
Carter currently works as the assistant principal at Meyers Elementary School in the southeast end of the county. A release from the school district said he is a Hall County native who worked in education since 1997.
Carter has a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education from Brigham Young University and a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Mercer University.
If approved by the school board, Carter will take over at the start of the school year. He would replace Ashley Treiger, who school officials said is taking a leadership position at another school.
