The Weldon City Schools Board of Education appointed Tammy Boone as the new superintendent for the district.

The board appointed Boone Thursday night.

She currently serves as the executive director of curriculum and instruction for the district, a position she has held since October of 2024. 

Before her tenure in Weldon Boone was a school leadership coach for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. 

She has worked in the Gates, Bertie, and Perquimans county schools and has held diverse roles that include middle and high school English teacher, assistant principal, middle school principal, federal programs director, chief academic officer, and assistant superintendent.

With over 30 years of experience in education, the Weldon City Schools Board of Education believes Boone's strong background in teaching and learning will greatly benefit the district, board Chair Tiffany said. “This is more than just a new chapter; it’s a homecoming of leadership. Although she’s been with us for most of the school year, we welcome Dr. Boone into this role with open arms, full confidence, and warm hearts. We are excited to support her, work beside her, and grow our district under her leadership.”

Boone will officially replace interim Superintendent Rodney Shotwell on July 1. Shotwell has served the district since April of 2024. 

“I am truly honored, extremely blessed, and overly excited to join Weldon City Schools as the next superintendent,” Boone said. “I look forward to working collaboratively with our school board, our students, staff members, families, and community partners to ensure that all students are provided a quality education that will prepare them for the future.”

She said, “It is my belief that all students deserve a quality education, and I am committed to fostering a culture of high expectations and excellence that will support our students to reach their full potential while preparing them for their future endeavors.”

Said Hale: “The Weldon City Schools Board of Education looks forward to Dr. Boone’s leadership and the positive impact she will have on the district and its students.”
