Jenny Bates, Assistant Principal
I am excited to serve as your Assistant Principal and look forward to meeting each of you! I began my professional career in the mental health field and served youth and families in a variety of circumstances. I moved into the educational system as a school counselor and worked in Davie County Schools, WSFCS, and then Rockingham County Schools. For the past 11 years, I have served as a school counselor in RCS as well as the district lead counselor for elementary schools. I earned my administrative license in 2016 and moved into a school administrator role in 2022 and really enjoy it!
My family is the most important part of my life and they keep me uplifted and grounded at the same time. My husband is a high school football coach, our son attends high school, and we have three miniature schnauzers. I am thrilled to be able to work in GCS close to home and family. I have a passion for building strong relationships and hope to become a positive member of your close-knit school family! Florence Cowboys are GREAT!
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve as your Assistant Principal!
