The National Association of Secondary School Principals has selected two Rutherford County principals as Principal of the year for their respective grade levels.
Both men are in Arlington, Va., this week representing Rutherford County Schools and Tennessee after being invited to participate in the National Principals Institute along with the top principals from around the country. The Institute will provide the candidates an opportunity to collaborate with other top principals about national issues, specifically focusing on adjustments to Common Core and changes in nationwide assessment.
Creasy has served as the principal of Stewarts Creek since the school opened in 2006 and previously served as an assistant principal at Siegel High School.
