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.
