The White County Board of Education didn’t have to look far when it came to finding a new principal for Jack P. Nix Elementary School.
School board members approved Laura Hall as the new principal at a called meeting Tuesday, May 4. She is currently the school’s assistant principal.
“I feel very honored, very humbled,” Hall said after the vote.
Hall has been at Jack P. Nix Elementary School for seven years, with four spent as an instructional coach and three as the assistant principal. That’s not her only connection to the school, however.
“I actually went to Jack P. Nix when I was a first-grader. I got to go to primary school at Jack P. Nix, so it’s a very special place,” Hall said.
