All of the Cannon County Schools family, with these principals and assistant principals leading their respective schools, will be working hard in the upcoming weeks and months regarding the restructuring and modernization process for our students. Principals and these assistant principals will continue the process by assembling and hiring teachers and staff members for the 2022-23 school year at each of these schools in the upcoming weeks. We congratulate those chosen to assist and lead their faculties, support staff, and most of all their students in the up-coming 2022-23 school year” Curtis said.
