This is but the latest in a long list of awards for the life-long educator. Here's the story. Congratulations, "Dr. Bob!" Another Coweta County middle school principal, Dr. Laurie Barron, also has a long list of awards. The latest honor for the Smokey Road Middle School principal came last summer when she was named the 2013 National Middle Level Principal of the Year by the National Association of Secondary School principals (NASSP) and MetLife.

Council Members Lead the Way Council member Lourie Owens, a 4th grade teacher at Mattie Lively Elementary School in Statesboro, could easily be called the "poster child" representing Georgia's great teachers. Why? Check out this video for the answer. We salute Lourie for her commitment and dedication to her students! Do you have a Council Member report? Drop us a note. FYI |
