I am DeNeasha Strother, your Assistant Principal! I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry and Secondary Education from North Carolina Wesleyan College. I went on to get my Master’s in School Administration from North Carolina State University through the NELA program. I have been an educator for 19 years. When I started working for Edgecombe County Public Schools in 2006, I fell in love with Tarboro and the community. I have a passion for redesigning education and seeing students excel. I hold my students to high expectations and love to watch their growth and development. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my husband Billy, two children Jaden and Bryson, and my dog Bailey Rae
