Dr. Paul Lawrence was hired as the new Superintendent for Simpson County School District. The announcement came Tuesday, June 27, 2023 during a press conference at the District Office.
Dr. Lawrence was currently the Principal at Magee Elementary.
Lawrence was chosen as the Outstanding Citizen for 2019 by the Magee Chamber of Commerce. His award came when he led the Elementary program at Magee from a F rated school to a B.
During a previous interview with MageeNews.com Lawrence explained the basic of his successful plan. “Getting the teachers and students to believe in themselves was the hardest thing I had to do,” stated Lawrence. He based his teaching on the 3 R’s: Respect, Responsibility, and Readiness. Constantly putting the 3 R’s in front of the students and teachers led to success.
Lawrence stated he wanted stability. He has high expectations for each student. He stated “We love kids, we are not a team, we are a family. I respect the students and faculty, and they respect me.”
