Demopolis schools leaders named

Dr. Bobby Hathcock, second from right, was named interim superintendent, with Brandi Smith, Westside Elementary School Principal, Elizabeth Fleming, U.S. Jones Elementary School Principal and Allene Jones, Demopolis Middle School Principal.

Demopolis City Schools named an interim superintendent.

In a special called meeting this week, the Demopolis City Schools board members approved a contract with Dr. Bobby Hathcock to serve as interim superintendent, replacing former Superintendent Tony Willis who left last month to lead Calhoun County schools.

In a social media post, Demopolis City Schools said Hathcock told the board and those in attendance that his door is open and he will "put his heart into this role" and was excited to begin.

The board also approved contracts for Brandi Smith to serve as the Westside Elementary School Principal, Elizabeth Fleming as U.S. Jones Elementary School Principal and Allene Jones as Demopolis Middle School Principal, effective Aug. 1.

"With these changes, we are confident that the faculty and staff in this system are committed to our students and making this the best year yet," the district said.
