Central Magnet School Principal John Ash has been selected as the Middle School Principal of the Year representing Tennessee for the National Association of Secondary School Principals.

Each year state chapters of NASSP select a state-level principal of the year for middle schools and high schools. Those representatives are then contenders for NASSP's National Principal of the Year award. Ash was honored at a ceremony on Sept. 10 in Washington D.C.

"I am proud of the accomplishment because it reflects the hard work of all of the teachers and students at Central Magnet School," Ash said.

The criteria for the state selection process consists of the overall contributions to the school and education as a whole, Ash said.

Central Magnet School is an academic magnet school serving grades 6-12.
