During the Williamsburg Board of Education\u2019s regular monthly meeting Thursday, Tabetha Housekeeper was announced as the district\u2019s next superintendent. Housekeeper will assume the role effective July 21, making her the school district\u2019s first female superintendent in its 114-year history. Loren Connell, longtime director of instruction at Williamsburg, had served as interim superintendent since July 1 following the departure of former Superintendent Tim Melton, who left the district at the end of June to take on a new role with Knox County Schools. Connell, who told the News Journal earlier this month after being appointed as interim that he had no intention of seeking the position full-time, welcomed Housekeeper during Thursday\u2019s meeting. \u201cOn behalf of the district, let me welcome you to this role,\u201d said Connell. \u201cYou\u2019re coming to a special place and you got a great group of people behind you. Welcome to Williamsburg.\u201d Housekeeper began her teaching career in Winchester as a learning and behavior teacher and was later employed by Scott County Schools in Georgetown, where she served as a teacher, assistant principal and director of student services. She addressed the board following their decision, both thanking them and describing how she plans to take on her new role wholeheartedly. \u201cI just want you guys to know I love my family, and they matter the most. Without them, I wouldn\u2019t be here because what I see in this school is that you care about the people. And I would not even consider this an option for myself, except I met the people. It matters to me that you see my heart,\u201d said Housekeeper. \u201cAnd at a time I was most emptied out, you all saw leadership in me. I just want you all to know that I\u2019m not perfect. I will make mistakes. But, I will love the people here and I will always\u2014100 percent always\u2014put kids first. So, I just appreciate the opportunity. Truly.\u201d \u201cI just want to be part of something wonderful that gets to show kids, \u2018Guess what? We can overcome our circumstances.\u2019 There is a big, wide world out there and they can impact it.\u201d For the full story, see the July 26 edition of the News Journal."}
