Principal appointed for Hardin Valley High School

The Knox County Superintendent of Schools today officially appointed the principal for the new Hardin Valley High School in west Knox County.

Dr. Charles Lindsey named Sallee Reynolds, currently the West High School, to the position of principal for Hardin Valley High School. Reynolds will continue in her position at West High through the end of the school year.

“While we had some excellent candidates apply for the position at Hardin Valley, I am convinced that we need an experienced high school principal in that position,” said Lindsey. “The principal at Hardin Valley will have to hire staff, schedule classes, meet with many students, community members, and contractors as well as a multitude of other tasks in preparation for opening this school. It is a daunting undertaking even for the most experienced person. I know Sallee will meet every challenge.”

Reynolds has been an educator since 1981 when she joined the Knoxville Catholic High School faculty as a mathematics teacher. She joined Knox County Schools in 1989 as a math teacher at West High School. She was an assistant principal and Central High School from 2001 to 2003, and she became the principal at West High in 2004.
