Superintendent Will Schofield announced on Thursday he would recommend Robert Wilson as the next Principal of Chicopee Woods Elementary School.
A press release from Hall County Schools said the recommendation will be made at the board meeting on Monday, Mar. 10.
“I have had the honor to serve in public education for the past 29 years--with the last 15 years in Hall County--and every stop along the way helped me prepare for the next challenge,” Wilson said. “I’m excited about the opportunity to serve the students, teachers and families of Chicopee Woods Elementary.”
Wilson will replace Principal Rebecca Fisher, who will be stepping aside at the end of the year.
Wilson served as an assistant principal at Flowery Branch Elementary prior to serving six years as the principal of Lyman Hall Elementary.
He has spent the past seven years as the principal of Cherokee Bluff Middle School.
“Robert Wilson has a proven track record in elementary education and has a wide variety of gifts to offer,” Deputy Superintendent Kevin Bales said. “First and foremost, he understands that relationships are the foundation for all that we do. He has a strong pedagogical background and many years of experience in leading teachers in research-based professional learning. We believe he will be a great fit at Chicopee Woods Elementary, and we look forward to watching students and teachers continue to grow under his leadership.”
According to HCSD, Wilson retains a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from LaGrange College, a Master’s degree in Education from Troy State University and a Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from Lincoln Memorial University.
