Operations Supervisor

I am no stranger to education as this will be my 14th year working in public schools. My previous positions have been principal at Hickory Career and Arts Magnet High School,  as the assistant principal at R.J. Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem and the assistant principal at Hickory High School. 

I have worked with students from all walks of life since my graduation from college at North Carolina Central University. I have obtained my MBA from Southwest Baptist University, my administrative license from North Carolina A and T, and I have worked in many capacities. 

A college football coach, high school head coach, teacher, assistant principal and now principal, and nothing gives me more pleasure than the opportunity to help young men and women accomplish all of the goals that they have set forward.

I have decided long ago that I want to be a servant leader in all of my schools and within my community. I serve as a deacon at Second Calvary Baptist Church. I am married to the lovely Laura Puryear and have 3 children, Eric, Jr , Sanaa, and Drew.
