Rowan-Salisbury Principal of the Year
Dr. Jamie Durant, principal at West Rowan
High School, was named the 2016-2017
Rowan-Salisbury Principal of the Year.
The announcement was made following
Superintendent Dr. Lynn Moody’s opening
session for the district’s annual 2016
‘Back To School Teacher Conference.” The
conference was held at South Rowan High
School.
Dr. Durant has been with Rowan-Salisbury
Schools since 2002 holding positions of
assistant principal and principal. Belk of
Salisbury presented Dr. Durant with a $500
gift certificate for a wardrobe from the Belk
store in Salisbury.
Approximately 1500 teachers and administrators filled the Raider gym
with cheers as Dr. Durant’s name was announced.
Dr. Durant will now move forward in competing at the regional level
for Principal of the Year. The NC State Principal of the Year will be
announced in the spring of 2017 and selected from regional winners
across the state.
Isenberg’s Gator Reading Club Soars!
~ Reaching Out to Senior Citizens and
Faith-Based
Communities
Last school year,
St. John’s Lutheran
Church kicked off
a targeted reading
program with a
select group of third
graders from Isenberg
Elementary School.
Called the Gator
Reading Club, students
were tutored twice a
week for an hour by
a group of dedicated volunteers. Students who received tutors last
year showed growth in critical reading indicators after receiving the
coaching from these volunteers.
This year, Isenberg is reaching out to other community groups for
more volunteers. Principal Marvin Moore asked a group of senior
residents from Trinity Oaks to join in the effort to provide third
grade students extra mentoring and academic support through a
prescriptive program that includes targeted reading interventions.
Isenberg is fortunate to have other faith-based partners that will also
be invited to join in this wonderful effort.
