Fun Fact: Did you know that a group of tigers is called an “ambush”?
The ambush of Tigers at the future Roosevelt Middle School (RMS) grew by two Tigers this week as assistant principals were named to join Principal Dr. Maurice Thomas in opening the new school.
Kevin Granger, Assistant Principal of Oakridge Middle School, will transfer to Roosevelt Middle School next year. Granger’s professional journey includes serving as a principal in the Rowan-Salisbury district in North Carolina. He also worked as an assistant principal at all three grade levels in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, Guilford County Schools and Wake County Public School System, all in North Carolina. Granger holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from William Paterson University in New Jersey and a Master of School Administration degree from NC State University.
Marybeth Willey, Assistant Principal of Clover Middle School, will also transfer to Roosevelt Middle School next year. Before joining Clover School District in 2023, Willey worked at Easley High School, where she served in several roles since 2017. She has been a new teacher mentor, Social Studies Department Chair, Instructional Coach, Social Studies teacher, and assistant marching band director. She previously worked at Pickens Middle School as a Social Studies teacher, Fred J. Miller as a Clinic Administrator and Centerville High School as an assistant band director.

Their expertise will be invaluable as we develop a plan to ensure that the students at Roosevelt Middle School have a positive and supportive school experience, “ said Roosevelt Middle School Principal Dr. Maurice Thomas.
