- **Heidi Bristol** will be the principal at Liberty Middle School.

This wave of change is due to numerous retirements and promotions within the Burke County Public School System. The district is undergoing a significant transition as it welcomes new leadership across multiple schools.

We wish all the retirees a blessed retirement and extend our heartfelt congratulations to the new principals and administrative staff. The district looks forward to a dynamic and successful school year ahead, underpinned by these new appointments.
