Our appreciation goes to Director of Schools George
Chapman
It is certainly fitting that the June 2008 “Notebook”
should be dedicated to Director of Schools George Chapman. He
has led our school system since 2000, overseeing many changes
with the great leadership, wisdom and the utmost dedication to
the children of Haywood County.
It has been under his direction that our schools met the
challenge of the No Child Left Behind directives, succeeding
in making this community proud of their hard work and
successes. Under his direction we have expanded our curriculum
to meet the needs of all the county’s children, and we have
mounted a campaign of informing and uniting all citizens
behind the local school system.
The job of Director of Schools is a monumental one, because
there is nothing more important than our children. Director
Chapman always kept that as his motivation and encouraged his
staff to raise the bar to give our children an advantage in
the world they must live in after school.
I have also appreciated my years of working with him.
Director Chapman has been a wonderful “teacher” and mentor to
me and his other staff members, the school administrators and
teachers.
For his dedication and for all the many hours of hard work
Director Chapman gave to this community, we offer our
sincerest appreciation and wish him the best in his retirement
and future endeavors.
