The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education named principals today for Carson and Henderson Independent high schools.

Kelly Withers, who is currently an assistant principal at Carson High, will take over for retiring principal Henry Kluttz.

A Facebook page supporting Withers for the job drew hundreds of members, including current Carson teachers and students, though school system officials said that would have no bearing on whether she was selected.

Trisha Hutson-Baptist, an assistant principal at South Charlotte Middle School, will assume the top spot at Henderson.

Hutson-Baptist replaces Ken Sherrill. Rowan-Salisbury officials learned earlier this month the school system had won a nearly $2.2 million grant to improve student achievement and increase the graduation rate at Henderson. Among the requirements for accepting the grant money were replacing the principal and at least half the teaching staff.

School system officials said Sherrill would be reassigned within the system.
