Henderson County Schools Welcomes Dr. Angela Marshall as New CTE Director
Henderson County Schools is pleased to announce that Dr. Angela Marshall has been named the new Director of Career and Technical Education (CTE).
Dr. Marshall brings a wealth of experience to the role, having served as a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, an Ayers Counselor at Scotts Hill High School, and most recently as the Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Ayers Foundation Trust. Her professional journey has shown a strong commitment to student achievement, community partnerships, and expanding opportunities for young people.
“Dr. Marshall’s extensive background in education, along with her proven ability to foster partnerships and connect students to postsecondary opportunities, makes her an outstanding choice to lead our CTE programs,” said Mr. Danny Beecham, Director of Schools. “We are confident she will continue to strengthen career pathways for our students and ensure they are prepared for success in both college and careers.”
In Tennessee public schools, the CTE Director is responsible for overseeing all career and technical programs, developing partnerships with local industries and postsecondary institutions, and ensuring students have access to high-quality pathways that prepare them for the workforce and higher education.
The district also extends its gratitude to Mrs. Lisa Lewis Evans, who recently retired after years of dedicated service as CTE Director. We wish her the very best in her retirement.
Dr. Marshall, alongside her husband of 25 years, is the proud parent of three children. She is deeply rooted in the community and enjoys supporting the Scotts Hill Lions while cheering on her family and local students.
