The Rockingham County Schools Board of Education has approved the appointment of a new administrator, naming Kasie Pruitt as Director of Federal Programs, effective July 1, 2026.
A graduate of Rockingham County High School and a product of Rockingham County Schools, Pruitt brings 24 years of experience in the district as she begins her 25th year in education. She started her career as a teacher at Wentworth Elementary School and Rockingham County Middle School before serving as assistant principal at Monroeton Elementary School and Leaksville-Spray Elementary School.
For the past 11 years, Pruitt has served as principal of Stoneville Elementary School, which she describes as “a true hidden gem” in the district. Reflecting on her time there, she shared that she will always value the experience and the many lessons it has taught her.
Pruitt is also a proud parent of two children who attend Rockingham County Schools and says she is grateful for the support they have received throughout their educational journey. A strong advocate for public education, she is deeply committed to ensuring every student feels safe, successful, loved, and heard each day at school.
“I am deeply honored to serve as the new Director of Federal Programs,” Pruitt said. “This role provides an opportunity to make a positive impact across all schools in our district and to support students, staff, and the community in a broader capacity.”
