Weston Jones is the CHS SBDM choice for new Principal By Calen McKinney Campbellsville High School students will see a familiar face in the hallway this school year. CHS Site-Based Decision Making Council members have hired Campbellsville Elementary School Assistant Principal Weston Jones to take over the CHS principal post. Council members met in special session on Monday, July 23, to announce the appointment. Jones replaces David Petett, who, after one year as CHS principal, will now serve as Director of Food Service and Federal Programs. Campbellsville Independent Schools Superintendent Kirby Smith said Council members interviewed three quality applicants on Saturday, July 21. "But they wanted somebody in-house," Smith said. "It was a tough decision for this Council." Smith said he praises Council members for the time and thought they put in when considering the applicants. "I think Mr. Jones will do a fine job, and I'm sure he's ready to go," Smith said. Jones, 32, graduated from Taylor County High School in 2004. He completed a bachelor's degree in physical education at Campbellsville University in 2008, and a special education degree at CU in 2011. In 2017, Jones completed an instructional leadership degree with principalship at Western Kentucky University. He has worked for CIS for nine years, eight of which were spent teaching physical education at Campbellsville Middle School. Last school year, Jones was an assistant principal at CES. Jones has also served as a coach at CIS, in many capacities. He was the head softball coach for six seasons. Before that, he served as an assistant coach for three years. Jones also served as an assistant football coach for four years, and for two years each as head and assistant boys' basketball coach. He is married to Hannah Jones, a third-grade teacher at CES. They have two children, Tate, 5, who will be a kindergartener at CES this school year, and Grady, 2. Jones is the son of Karen Jones and Mitchell Jones of Campbellsville. In his spare time, he enjoys hunting, fishing, sports and spending time with friends and family. Jones said he is excited for the opportunity to lead CHS, and is ready to hit the ground running. "I want to continue the momentum CHS has," he said. CHS ended the 2017-2018 school year with several academic, extracurricular and athletic accolades. "I just want to continue that," he said. "I know I have big shoes to fill in Mr. Smith's and Mr. Petett's." Jones said he has a great staff to work with at CHS, and many people in the District to help him as he transitions from an assistant elementary school principal to the leader at the high school. "I want to thank Mr. Smith and the Site-Based Decision Making Council for the opportunity," he said. Jones said the transition will take time, but he is confident in what he learned during his time as an assistant principal. By coaching and teaching them in middle school, Jones said he already knows many of the CHS students and hopes to continue to develop those relationships. "I'm all about the students, and want to see them succeed." With CHS becoming a Big Picture Learning school, Jones said, students have lots of opportunities to find out what they want to do with their lives. "[Becoming a Big Picture Learning school] will give them the opportunity to reach out and get a jump start and see what they want to do in life." This story was posted on 2018-07-29 00:36:38
