He obtained a master’s degree in School Admin istration from Cambridge College, in Cambridge, MA. and is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Edu cational Leadership from East Carolina University. “Although many quali fied candidates applied, the board felt that Holley’s experience, leadership, and dedication to students would best serve Tyrrell County Schools students, staff, and the community for years to come,” said Lee Scripture, BOE chair man. “The Board is confi dent that Holley will lead the school system to even higher achievement.” Prior to Perquimans ;County, Holley served as a middle school principal, assistant principal, Dean of Students in several elemen tary school programs, and curriculum intervention specialist at Northampton County High School-East, all in the Northampton County School System (2008-2012.)

Jackson-Heard was serv ing as career development coordinator for Perquimans County Schools. “In the spring of 2018 he was promoted into the career development coor dinator position,” Cheese man said. It was a new grant-fund ed position that was cov ered this school year with an option for another year. “This is exciting for him,” Cheeseman said. “It was a pleasure to work with him. It’s been a pleasure to see Dexter grow as a leader. He’s going to a school sys tem that will appreciate his leadership and his items. He knows how to get the best out of students.” Jackson-Heard has re ported to his new job. “Entering P.W. Moore Elementary, a school with a great history behind the name, I am excited about the opportunity to build on last year’s success,” Jackson-Heard said. “Trust and transparency are para mount to communication and vital to the success of any organization. I believe in building relationships and advancing the culture to better serve the needs of students, staff, parents, and the community.” Jackson-Heard holds a bachelor’s degree in mar keting from Virginia State University and a master’s degree in education ad ministration from Grand Canyon University. He has 17 years of experience in education, including expe rience as a teacher and an assistant principal. The Elizabeth City-Pas quotank School board also named Stephanie Ambrose as principal of Weeksville Elementary last month. TRACTOR Continued from 1 with health problems. “My son was not a spe cial needs child, but he was sick for a very long time. I wouldn’t wish that on any one.” Clyde W. Overton Jr., or Trey as he was known, died at the age of 23 on Jan. 15, 2010. He was diagnosed with Leber congenital amaurosis when he was 8-years-old. Overton lives in Belvidere but works as a tankerman for large tugboat company based in Baltimore. For the parade, Overton is asking sponsors for $150. “For a business, I don’t think that is unreasonable,” he said. He said he thought it would be hard to get spon sors for the event. He’s was wrong. “I’ve got people calling me asking to be a sponsor,” he said. He said all the money raised will go to The Benja min House and local efforts to help veterans. “Special needs people are people too,” Overton said. People can start the day at 8 am. on Nov. 10 buying breakfast at the Belvidere Ruritan Club. At 9 am. breakfast ends and riders can board wagons and at 9:30 am. the tractors and wagons and leave Belvi dere. Overton said residents of Benjamin House and veter ans will get first chance to climb aboard the wagons. If there is space left over, others are welcome to ride too. Riders will need to sign a waiver form. The parade is expected to arrive at Perquimans Central School at 10:30 am. and pick up more riders for the wagons. At 11 am. the parade starts again will cross the S-Bridge and con tinue down Church Street and take a right on Market Street, a right on Edenton Road Street and a right on Grubb Street before stop ping at Missing Mill Park. Lunch will be catered by Captain Bob’s at noon. Very quickly Overton said he had 30 tractors signed up. Another effort in Denton has had more than 100, and he hopes some of those will make the trip as well. “Everybody loves old tractors,” Overton said. When it comes time to leave Missing Mill, the trac tors will head to Center Hill Highway and then back to Belvidere. For more information, contact Overton at 333- 5869.

The 5K will start on the road behind the school sys tem’s central office building, do a big loop in the neigh borhood, come out onto Edenton Road Street at the Perquimans Extension Center, and go down Eden ton Road to Grubb Street, then loop back to the high school.
