TAEP Families and Students: (From Mr. Justin Hough)
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that this was my last school year leading our Eagle Family as your principal. I have accepted and been confirmed by the BOE as the new Director overseeing Child Nutrition and Testing Coordination. This decision did not come easily. Terra Alta has been my home away from home for 6 years now, and it has been a privilege to be able to be such a part of all of your lives. Thank you for welcoming me in with open arms, supporting me and all of our efforts here, but most importantly, for trusting the safety, care, well-being and education of your kids to my staff under my leadership. Saying it's been a privilege would be an understatement. This has been a chapter in my life that will forever hold a special place in my heart. I have loved your kids as my own, and at times, have missed out on some time with my two littles at home. That, as well as hoping to be a bigger part of the conversation as we move this county through difficult times, was a driving force in this decision. I will always think of Terra Alta as my second family, but it was time I made some decisions that supported my wife and my children. I will be here throughout the transition with whoever is selected as the next principal, as well as I plan to see our students as often as possible in my new roles. My only hope is that I've left this place in a better situation than I found it when I took over 6 years ago. That's always the goal. Again, thank you for trusting me and being such an important part of my life, growth and journey over the years. It's never goodbye Eagles. Preston County will forever be my home, and I will always take the time to check in on my Eagle family and support them in their efforts. I want to thank Mr. Martin and the BOE for trusting me, and I look forward to my continued work with Preston County Schools. I love you all. I will miss you. I'll never forget where I first learned to fly. Once an Eagle, ALWAYS an Eagle.
