SALISBURY — Rowan-Salisbury’s Principal of the Year will be taking over the top spot at Knox Middle School next year.
The Board of Education announced this evening China Grove Middle’s Dr. James Davis will be the new principal at Knox Middle.
“We’re looking at putting our finest foot foward at Knox to make it as successful as possible and Dr. Davis is a proven leader,” board Chairman Dr. Jim Emerson said. “We think it’s going to be a good move for him and that school.”
Rodney Burton stepped down as principal of Knox last month for personal reasons, less than two years after taking over in October 2009.
The position is currently being filled by interim principal Larry Brown.
Gerald MoragneEl also resigned from Knox, citing personal reasons, after just one year.
