The Appalachian State University Academy at Middle Fork announces new positions and staff for the 2021-22 academic year. With additional federal funding, the Academy has been able to expand its services to students and families.
"Being able to promote our teachers into leadership positions shows what a strong and committed staff we have at the Academy.”
Reich College of Education Assistant Dean and Director of the Academy, Dr. Hannah Reeder, noted, “We were able to promote within the school for many of the positions, which then created a domino effect of additional vacancies. However, being able to promote our teachers into leadership positions shows what a strong and committed staff we have at the Academy.”
“We are excited to continue our learning together for the 2021-2022 academic year,” she added.
