Four Fayette County schools will begin the new school year next week with new principals.
Erinn Angelo will become principal at Braelinn Elementary following Jennifer Couch’s resignation. Angelo, a 24-year veteran of Fayette schools, had been the principal at Sara Harp Minter Elementary since 2012; she will be replaced at Minter by John Gibbas, who recently moved to Georgia after serving as an administrator and elementary school principal in Illinois.
Rising Starr Middle’s new principal is Kathy Smith, a former assistant principal at Sandy Creek High and Bennett’s Mill Middle who will take over for Nancy Blair, who retired at the end of the last school year.
Richard Smith, another former Sandy Creek assistant principal, has been named as that high school’s interim principal for the coming year.
