Dorsey, who has been with the White County system for almost six years, was approved for the position Thursday night by the Gilmer County Board of Education.
Dorsey must still receive a release from his contract with the White County Board of Education, which meets next Thursday.
"I hope to carry over there some great things I have learned at White County and we will have a great school system," said Dorsey.
If White County approves the contract release, which is expected, Dorsey said he will begin Oct. 1 as assistant superintendent and will become superintendent Jan. 1 following the retirement of current Superintendent Randy Parson.
