WATER VALLEY – The Board of Trustees of the Water Valley Consolidated School District is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Deborah Moran as Superintendent of Schools for the Water Valley School District.
Dr. Moran has broad experience in all aspects of school administration and a proven track record of improving student achievement, according to board president Lamar Burgess.
“With her educational background and academic focus, we feel confident that the school system will not only continue to be recognized as one of the top systems within the state, but will one day be recognized as one of the premiere school districts in America,” Burgess added.
Dr. Moran began her education career in the Bay Waveland School District in South Mississippi as an elementary school teacher. After teaching for six years, she took an administrative post with St. Peter Apostle School.
She was subsequently employed by the 4,300 student Hancock County School District as an assistant principal and quickly rose to the rank of principal, later assuming additional duties as district-wide curriculum coordinator and federal programs director.
Board member Taylor Trusty describes Dr. Moran as an innovator who will bring new ideas and solutions to the Water Valley School District. “The Board spent many hours reviewing background information and interviewing superintendent candidates, and Dr. Moran’s confident disposition, can-do attitude and enthusiasm were unparalleled,” said Trusty.
Dr. Moran earned undergraduate degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi and her Doctorate from NOVA Southeastern University. She will assume her duties as Water Valley Superintendent of Schools on July 1.
