Robert F. Clemmer says he's
ready to face the challenge of his
new job as principal of Carver
High School.
Last^ week a group of '
African-American Carver High
School parents attended the
city/county school board meeting
to protest the system's principal
selection process.
The group said they are not
pleased with the former principal,
L. James McDaniel and that they
do not know anything about
Clemmer.
Clemmer, 42, said in an
interview Monday that he is ready
to meet with the parents and
discuss any concerns that they may
have about him.
"I am more than willing to
meet with them to hear them air
out their frustrations and discuss
what I can do as the new principal
to work toward solving them," he
said.
One parent, Pauline Fulton,
told the Chronicle last week that
one of her concerns is whether
Gemmer, wtio is a former principal
at Philo Middle School, will be
able to make the switch from being
an administrator at the middle
school level to the high school
level.
Mrs. Fulton's son is a rising
senior at Carver.
"I am aware of the senior
high set up and how it operates,"
said Clemmer who has taught and

eady for the
coached at the high school level. "It
will be interesting to see how I
grow at the senior high level since I
taught at that level."
Clemmer said that he's glad
the parents are questioning him.
"That's the way it should be," he
said.
He described himself as very
student-oriented. "I firmly believe
that the schools exist for the
students," he said. "I sometimes feel
we lose sight of this. My ambition is

experience at this school."
"I think students will find that
I have a positive tone," he said.
"Hopefully it will spill over to the
students and faculty."
f* He said that his experience at
the high school level has also
centered around his active
involvement as a parent, along with
his wife, Phyllis, Clemmcr said he
has the necessary experience and
education to do the job at Carver.
Clemmcr, a Gastonia native,
has about 20 years of experience in
education.
He attended Lees-McRae
College for two years, transferred to
Appalachian State University and
graduated in 1967 with an
undergraduate degree in social
studies.
He received his master's
/ degree from the University Qf North
Carolina at Greensboro and obtained
a specialist in education degree from
ASU.
His first job was in Yadkin
County teaching eighth grade. He
came to the city/county school

In 1970 he left to teach and
coach football at a high-school in

to Winston-Salem in 1975 to teach
at Atkins School. It was while at
Atkins that he decided to take the
fministrative route in education.
After receiving his master's
degree, he transferred to Paisley
Middle School as an administrative
intern. In 1978 he was promoted
to assistant principal at the school.
He was appointed principal of
Philo Middle School in 1980 and
has spent the last seven years there.
He and his wife Phyllis, have
three children, Jean, a rising junior
a(S^SU; Robbyn, a rising senior at
Parkland High School and Billy, a
rising junior at Parkland.
Clemmer said that changes
arc definitely on the way at Carver.
Some of the changes may even be
radical, he said. "Any new person
would have a certain way they do
things which would involve
change," he said. "I would not
want to make radical changes at
first. Certain things will be done as
the year progresses."
A lot of Clemmer's time at
first will be spent famaliarizing
himself with Carver's background
and getting to know the teachtrs
and staff and the students when
they come.
When school does start,
Clemmer said that he will spend a
lot of time in the classroom,
observing teachers and students.
