HHS Principal Robert Mitchell was named the Principal of the Year, and HHS Athletic Director Jim Frazer was named Athletic Director of the Year.

These men are being recognized for displaying the high ideals of integrity and ethics and for the examples of citizenship and sportsmanship.

Veteran educator Robert Mitchell has been principal of Haywood High for 10 years. Also a long-time educator, Jim Frazier came to HHS in 2005 as assistant principal and the athletic director. He is now principal at Anderson Early Childhood Center, but continues his duties as athletic director.

These award announcements come on the heels of a recently received notification from the TSSAA that HHS has been commended for receiving no unsportsmanlike conduct penalties during the 2008-09.
