In June 1994, I graduated from East Gaston High School with no plans or intentions to return to EG as a Civics/US History teacher in August 1998; however, I did. Fast forward 26 years and it is my greatest honor to return as the first alumni principal of East Gaston High School. It is truly a joy I can't put into words.  East Gaston is a special place with wonderful teachers, an amazing support staff and the best students! I am looking forward to a wonderful school year!
