UTK VOLS Lead graduate, M. Aaron Christian, was recently selected  for the Tennessee Governor’s Academy for School Leadership, one of only 29 assistant principals selected from across the state of Tennessee.

Aaron was nominated by the Washington County Director of Schools and will start the 1 year program in January.

Aaron states that: “I attribute these early successes to the education I received during my time in the VOLS Lead cohort. Not only was the program rigorous and well designed, it was, most importantly, immediately applicable. I am regularly able to overcome a lack of experience by relying on my education received at UTK.”

Aaron is currently Assistant Principal at Boones Creek Middle/Elementary School in Washington County.
