Upon Dr. Robert Arnold’s announcement of his retirement as division superintendent, the Amherst County School Board contracted with Real Synergy, LLC to assist in the selection of the next superintendent. After conducting interviews with highly qualified candidates and careful consideration, the Amherst County School Board would like to announce our unanimous decision to hire Dr. William Wells as the next superintendent of Amherst County Public Schools pending finalization of contractual details.
Dr. Wells is a 1986 graduate of Amherst County High School and a 29 year employee of Amherst County Public Schools. He currently serves as the assistant superintendent for Amherst County Public Schools and has held multiple other positions in the school division including coach, teacher, assistant principal, and principal at Monelison Middle School and Amherst County High School.
We anticipate a public signing ceremony and reception in mid June to formally welcome Dr. Wells. The date of the ceremony will be forthcoming.
