Johnson also has served as a site developer for the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program, and as a summer school principal.

Johnson holds two master’s degrees – one in education leadership and the other in literature – both from North Carolina State University. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Guilford College in Greensboro.
“Eric Johnson will provide a sense of continuity in leadership around the focused efforts to increase student achievement at Lowe’s Grove Middle School,” said Superintendent Carl Harris. “His years of experience as an administrator and his thorough knowledge of and familiarity with the Lowe’s Grove community will serve him well in this new role.”
