New Principal on the Block
Years of Experience to HogansviUe
By CUNT CLAYBROOK
Hogansville Elementary
School students report for the
first full day of the 2004-2005
on Friday, August 6 and one
of the new faces they'll be
getting acquainted with
quickly belongs to Bret
Bryant.
He's new, too.
Bryant, 36, is starting his
first year as a principal, but
that comes after several
years as a teacher and assis-
tant principal: he spent two
years at Mountville
Elementary where his title
was "instructional specialist"
whi~ch is "a fancy word for
assistant principal," a school
system official said.
Before that, he spent two
years at Park Elementary in
Harris County as an assistant
principal and taught for
seven years at Long Cane
Elementary in ImGrange.
In his 12 years in the busi-
ness, he's taught students in
the third through fifth grades
"the whole range" of subjects.
Students report for the
first day of school tomorrow,
August 6. There will be a full
day of classes and the cafe-
teria will be up and running
for lunch. Registration was
Wednesday.
BREAKFAST won't start
being served until Aug. 16 for
those who opt for that meal
at school. Registration was
Wednesday and Bryant and
his cadre of teachers were
expecting about 385 students,
from the four-year-olds in
Pre-K to those in the three
sections of the fifth grade.
Bryant holds a degree in
business management from
West Georgia College and has
a master's in administration

He'll have 34 certified
staff members to work with,
including Jacqueline Jones,
who'll be the
school's

specialist.
In his sec-
ond year as a
teacher, Bryant
decided "to go
toward admin-
istration. I had
opportunities
along the way and decided
than that was something I
wanted to pursue," he told
The Home News earlier this
week.

ty to focus on the goal of
"maintaining average yearly
progress" at Hogansville
Elementary, and there will be
"intense concentration on
student learning," he said.
"One of the goals is to
increase our
progress
yearly" and
exceed the
state's goals
required
under the
federal No
Child Left
Behind Act.
"There's no
room to back off."
Bryant feels he has a
strong corps of teachers.

year and I'm excited to be
here."

In September 2003, medical product manufacturer Smith 8i
Nephew issued a voluntary recall of two types of knee re
ment implants. Some cement-less versions of the Oxinum
Genesis II and Profix II knee replacement systems became
loose after doctors implanted them. Smith & Nephew withdrew
the implants due to conperns over patient safety. These implants
could become loose and may need tobe replaced.
