DURHAM—Dr. W. Renee Carmon has been named Principal of Glenn Elementary School. She replaces Reginald Davis, who recently accepted a position in the Alamance-Burlington School System.
Dr. Carmon has served as associate principal of Cameron Park Elementary School in Orange County Schools since 2005. She performed her principal internship at Hillandale Elementary in Durham for one year prior to that.
Before interning, Dr Carmon taught first and second grades at Hope Valley Elementary in Durham over the course of nine years. She also has taught at the elementary level at Eno Valley Elementary in Durham, in Orange County Schools and in San Antonio, TX.
“I am very excited to be invited to join the team at Glenn Elementary as principal. It is wonderful to finally achieve this goal. I am so thankful to the Board of Education and Superintendent for giving me this awesome opportunity,” said Dr. Carmon. “It is a pleasure to be trusted to lead the students, teachers and community of Glenn to the next level of academic achievement.”
Dr. Carmon holds three degrees – a bachelor’s in early childhood education, and both a master’s and a doctorate in education leadership – all from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“Glenn Elementary School stands to make further gains in student achievement under the leadership of Renee Carmon,” said Superintendent Carl E. Harris. “Dr. Carmon brings more than two decades of elementary instructional experience, both in the classroom and as an administrator. We are very fortunate to have her here in Durham, and I know that her ideas and her zeal for this post will serve to inspire the students, teachers and families she serves.”
