The Sampson County Schools Board of Education approved the recommendation from SCS Superintendent Dr. Jamie King to promote John Goode, principal of Lakewood High School to SCS Career and Technical Education and Federal Programs director. The decision was made at their regular monthly board meeting held on July 24.
Goode moves into his new role with over 20 years of experience in education. Prior to serving as the principal of Lakewood High School since 2016, Goode was the assistant principal and principal of Midway Middle School from 2007 to 2016. He began his teaching career as a social studies teacher at Midway High School in 2002.
In addition to his work with Sampson County Schools, he has worked since 2014 as an adjunct instructor of History for Sampson Community College, Wayne Community College, and the University of Mount Olive.
Before transitioning into public education, Goode worked for 14 years with the National Park Service and the North Carolina Department of Natural & Cultural Resources. He is certified by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission as a Hunter Education Instructor and Range Safety Officer.
Goode holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, completed 30 credit hours of master's level work in History at North Carolina State University, and completed his Master of School Administration, Curriculum and Instruction from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
“We are excited to have Mr. Goode join our team in the central office and know that his experience in Sampson County Schools will serve us well,” said SCS Superintendent Dr. Jamie King in a press release.
Goode will remain principal at Lakewood High School until his replacement is hired.
