At their August 15 work session, the SCS Board of Education approved the recommendation from SCS Superintendent Dr. Jamie King for a new assistant principal.
Amy Tart will become the new assistant principal of Union Elementary School. She moves into this role with nearly 10 years of experience in education.

Since then she has taught at Hayesville Elementary School in Clay County, NC, Sunset Avenue Elementary in Clinton, NC, and most recently as an intern administrator at L.C. Kerr and Butler Avenue Elementary schools in Clinton, NC.
"We look forward to the teaching and leadership experience Mrs. Tart will bring back to Sampson County Schools. It's a full-circle moment in her career", said Dr. King.
