Culbreth Middle School Principal Susan Wells has been named the 2010 Principal of the Year for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools
Wells was selected by her fellow principals in the district. Her leadership in technology education has brought national attention to Culbreth. Every student at Culbreth now uses an iPod Touch, which they use to be active participants in the educational program. Student achievement has been high during Well’s tenure, with more than 90 percent of students performing at or above grade level on end-of-grade tests in reading and mathematics in 2010.
Wells will submit a portfolio to enter regional and state principal of the year competitions.
