Carter replaces Todd Barnett, who was promoted to supervisor of middle schools and instruction in December.
Carter has worked at Science Hill for the past 22 years, starting as an English teacher in 1999. He was named the 2009 Science Hill Teacher of the Year before leaving the classroom to become an assistant principal in 2012.
âI am very excited to be named principal at Science Hill High School,â Carter said in the release. âScience Hill has a long tradition of superb academics, championship athletics, and outstanding fine arts. I am honored to be a part of such tradition and success.
âI am most excited, however, about the coming days of this school year, as we look forward to a strong finish for all of our students. We are especially looking forward to celebrating our seniors and all of their accomplishments during graduation.â
