DURHAM--Therman L. Flowers, Principal of Millbrook Elementary School in the Wake County Public School System, will return to Durham as Principal of Pearsontown Elementary School, replacing Dr. Eric Bracy, who has been named Executive Director of Student Support Services.
Flowers has been principal of Millbrook for the past year, before which time he served for six years as principal of C.C. Spaulding Biosphere Magnet School in Durham Public Schools.
Before coming to Durham in 2000, Flowers had served as assistant principal of Fairview Elementary School in Guilford County for one year. For three years before that, he was an assistant principal of Guilford Primary School. He previously taught at the elementary level in Wake County Schools.
"It is indeed an honor to return to Durham Public Schools as the new principal of Pearsontown Elementary. I am very grateful to Dr. Carl Harris, the DPS Board of Education and Pearsontown's selection committee for this wonderful opportunity," said Flowers. "I will work diligently to continue Pearsontown's tradition of high academic excellence while fostering strong relationships with Pearsontown's teachers, parents, students, and the surrounding community."
Flowers holds a master’s degree in supervision and administration and a bachelor's degree in early childhood education from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. He was also named a North Carolina Principal Fellow.
"We welcome Therman Flowers back to the Durham Public Schools fold. A half-dozen years of success at C.C. Spaulding is but one strong indication of his abilities as an elementary administrator," said Superintendent Carl E. Harris. "We are looking forward to Therman’s leadership at Pearsontown. He will work well with the students, teachers, parents and community in continuing the great successes that the school has experienced over the last number of years."
