Another Clark County Public School has a new principal.
The district announced in a social media post Thursday that Diana Jackson, who served as assistant principal the past two school years, will be Shearer Elementary School’s new head principal.
Superintendent Molly McComas had high praise for the new principal.
“She is already a proud Shark and will begin the transition into this role. Mrs. Jackson will strive to continue the journey to make Shearer a sought after place to work and learn. Most importantly, Mrs. Jackson will work collaboratively with all stakeholders to create shared ownership in Shearer’s success based on student centered decisions.

She received her certifications as a supervisor of instruction and principal from the University of the Cumberlands.

We will continue to build on the solid foundation that Shearer has set for our community and inspire our students to be lifelong learners. I look forward to serving and leading with a positive purpose with our outstanding staff who are dedicated to every student.”
