Ms. Perry will officially assume her role on July 1, 2026, though she will be working closely with our leadership team over the coming weeks to ensure a seamless transition. A familiar face in our district, Ms. Perry has spent the last nine years as a passionate Special Education Teacher, most recently serving our students as the PASS Plus teacher at Taylorsville Elementary.
Her extensive background in early childhood support and her dedication to student success make her the perfect fit for our youngest learners. Please join us in congratulating Ms. Perry and welcoming her to the Early Learning Center family!

We are proud to announce three new district leadership appointments as part of a strategic reorganization to improve our district's effectiveness and efficiency. We are incredibly fortunate to promote these talented, familiar faces from within our own school family:
๐น Mr. Steven Rucker has been selected as our new Assistant Superintendent. Mr. Rucker previously served as our Chief of Student Supports and is a veteran school administrator in our district.
๐น Ms. Beth St. Bernard has been named Director of Secondary Education after serving beautifully as the Principal of our Early Learning Center for the past two years.
๐น Ms. Mandy Howie will serve as Director of Elementary Education, bringing her rich experience as our Director of State and Federal Programs, an Instructional Coach, and a long-time district teacher.
We are excited for the future of Spencer County Schools under their expanded leadership! Please join us in congratulating each of them on their new roles! ๐ โจ
