There are some exciting leadership changes coming to White County Schools for the upcoming school year! We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Mrs. Rebecca Ryan as our new Supervisor of Elementary Education.

Mrs. Ryan is a familiar face in our district, having spent the last nine years as the principal of Findlay Elementary School. Before transitioning into administration, she taught math at White County High School for 12 years, after beginning her education career at Avery Trace Middle School and Mt. Juliet High School. We look forward to the knowledge and professionalism she will bring to this new role.

Mrs. Ryan will be stepping into the large shoes left by Mrs. Angela Fresh, who is embarking on a well-deserved retirement this September. Mrs. Fresh has served White County Schools well for 30 years. She began her career in the classroom at Findlay Elementary, went on to serve as the principal of BonDeCroft, taught sixth grade, and spent six years as the assistant principal at White County High School before stepping into her current role as Supervisor of Elementary Education. We are incredibly grateful for her years of dedication to ensuring that teachers and students have the tools, strategies, and resources necessary to meet state educational standards. Thank you, Mrs. Fresh!

With these shifts, other leadership positions are falling into place: Mrs. Beth Peek will assume the principal position at Findlay Elementary, and Mr. Wesley Martin will serve as assistant principal. Additionally, Mr. Kyle Hicks will move into the principal position at Northfield Elementary School.

Please join us in thanking Mrs. Fresh for her service, and in congratulating Mrs. Ryan and our other administrators as they assume these new leadership roles within the district!
