New Superintendent of Schools for Orange County Virginia

New Superintendent of Schools
by Pat Licata, President

 
superintendentDr. Cecil Snead took over the leadership of the Orange County Public School on July 1st.  Dr. Snead will be the featured speaker at the Civic Club meeting on Wednesday, October 10th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Clubhouse.  We encourage you to come to the meeting and welcome our new superintendent of schools.
 
Dr. Snead, originally from Bedford, VA, pursued a mathematics education degree at Virginia Tech.  In earning his teaching degree, he combined his love for helping others with his passion for mathematics.  In 2005, he earned his doctorate from Virginia Tech.  Dr. Snead came to Orange County after serving as superintendent of schools in Buckingham County for 6 years where he stressed the need to build capacity for best practices in the areas of instruction, technology, finance, and facilities.
 
Dr. Snead boasts a strong and firm family foundation; he gives credit to his family who support the long hours and dedication needed to be a superintendent.  He is most proud that all of his children (all girls) are successful products of public schools.  All have completed four year universities, with his youngest child currently completing her third year at the University of Virginia in the computer science program.  He has coached junior varsity football, varsity football, and U-12 girl’s soccer.  His wife, Sherrie for whom he credits with giving him much of his strength, recently retired from being a teacher. When Dr. Snead is not working, he enjoys his dogs (Kip and Finn), running, reading, hiking, and traveling with his family.
 
The Civic Club meetings are open to all members of the community and there will be time allotted for questions.   Please plan to attend so you may become better acquainted with the leader of our public schools. We look forward to seeing you on the 10th.
 
Before or after the Civic Club meeting consider having dinner at the Clubhouse.  The view of the lake from the Clubhouse is spectacular.
