Chestatee High School in Hall County will have a new principal by next month.

Hall County School District Superintendent Will Schofield announced Tuesday he will recommend Christy Cantrell to take the top leadership position at the school at the next school board meeting on June 14.

Christy Cantrell has worked in several capacities at CHS since the school opened in 2002, most recently as Associate Principal, a position she has held since 2017. 

Cantrell will replace Principal Suzanne Jarrard who will transition full time to the central office as Director of Middle and Secondary Education.

"Ms. Cantrell has been a War Eagle since the school opened in 2002,” said Superintendent Will Schofield. “As a teacher, an Assistant Principal, and an Associate Principal, she has demonstrated strong leadership and a commitment to her students and to the Chestatee community. We celebrate this next step in her career, knowing full well she will continue to serve Chestatee with wisdom, passion, and that War Eagle pride.”

Cantrell has 24 years of experience in education. After teaching for two years in a private school setting, she began her career in Hall County as a math teacher and coach at North Hall High School from 1999-2001. She transferred to CHS when the school opened in 2002 and has spent the last 19 years there serving as a math teacher, coach and an administrator.

“I could not be more excited about my new role at Chestatee High School,” said Cantrell. “I vow to serve the CHS community by continuing to support the wonderful students and educators who I am blessed to work with every day.”

Cantrell holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Math Education from North Georgia College and a Master’s Degree in Education and Leadership from North Georgia College and State University.
