STARKVILLE — The Starkville School District board of trustees Thursday named new principals for Armstrong Middle School and Sudduth Elementary during a special call meeting at the Greensboro Center.
Elizabeth Mosley, who has served as principal of Sudduth Elementary School since 1998, will take over July 1 as principal of Armstrong Middle School. Mosley replaces former Principal Joseph Stone, who resigned this spring to become pastor at Second Baptist Church.
The school board on Thursday also promoted Sudduth Vice Principal Lisa Thompson to fill the newly vacated principal’s position at Sudduth.
Superintendent Judy Couey said she is confident Mosley has the “experience, know-how and talent” to serve as principal of Armstrong Middle.
“Libby Mosley has both the experience and knowledge base needed to step into the middle school setting,” Couey said in a statement. “I am confident that her leadership abilities will set new standards in achievement for our district.”
Couey shared a similar sentiment about Thompson.
“In moving Ms. Mosley to her new position, I did not want to lose the success formula she has created for Sudduth,” Couey said. “Lisa Thompson is a veteran educator that will not miss a step in continuing the traditions and practices of our premier elementary school.”
