Iredell-Statesville Schools Supt. Terry Holliday was named the 2009 A. Craig Phillips North Carolina Superintendent of the Year Tuesday night.
The award was made jointly by the North Carolina Association of School Administrators (NCASA) and the North Carolina School Boards Association (NCSBA) during a reception in Greensboro.
Holliday has been superintendent of the I-SS since 2002, coming here from the Transylvania County Schools in Brevard, where he was superintendent.
During his tenure as superintendent, according to the NCASA and the NCSBA, Holliday "has led the (I-SS) to great gains in student achievement; Iredell-Statesville schools consistently measure in the top ten in North Carolina in student performance despite being one of the lowest funded districts in per pupil expenditures in the state."
The organizations said Holliday "also made an impact on education at the state level with his work on reforming the N.C. accountability program while serving on the Blue Ribbon Commission on Testing and Accountability."
In a statement, Iredell-Statesville Schools Board of Education Chairman Dr. David W. Cash said: "(Holliday) truly believes and his daily leadership shows that our school system's significant accomplishments have been achieved largely through multiple collaborative relationships in this community based on trust earned by improved accountability, transparency, and communication skills.
"Dr. Holliday's dedicated and untiring efforts have definitely made an enduring difference in this community."
The 2009 A. Craig Phillips North Carolina Superintendent of the Year Award winner will compete for the National Superintendent of the Year honor, which will be given at the American Association of School Administrators' National Conference on Education Feb. 19-21 in San Francisco, CA.
Along with Dr. Holliday, the 2009 A. Craig Phillips North Carolina Superintendent of the Year nominees included:
· Dr. Ashley F. Hinson, Jr., Surry County Schools
· Dr. Sonna J. Lyda, Transylvania County Schools
· Dr. Katie M. McGee, Brunswick County Schools
· Dr. Anthony L. Parker, Johnston County Schools
