Whitfield County Schools Superintendent Katie Brochu says she couldn’t pass up the chance to vie for the head of schools job in a South Carolina school district.
But Ms. Brochu, who announced this week she is among three candidates for the superintendent job in Richland School District 2, says that she loves her work in Whitfield County, whatever the outcome.
“It has been nothing but a pleasure to work and serve in Whitfield County schools,” she said.
The South Carolina job is “a wonderful challenge and opportunity,” Ms. Brochu said, but “I’ll always be a part of Whitfield County and Whitfield County will always be a part of me.”
Whitfield Board of Education Chairman Tim Trew credited Ms. Brochu for unifying the 23-school district that serves about 13,500 students.
