Hall County School System has made a decision on East Hall High School’s next principal.
Superintendent Will Schofield announced Monday that he intends to recommend Jennifer Gibson as the next principal of East Hall High School. The official recommendation will be presented to the Hall County Board of Education at its upcoming meeting on Monday, April 28, 2025.
Gibson is set to succeed current principal Jeff Cooper, who will retire at the end of the 2024–2025 school year.
“I am so thankful to Mr. Schofield and the Board of Education for the opportunity to serve as the principal of East Hall High School,” Gibson said. “I look forward to being a part of the amazing work that’s already taking place at EHHS and working alongside the staff, students, families, and community members to continue to build on the tradition, pride, and excellence that is East Hall.”
Gibson brings 20 years of experience in Hall County Schools, all of which have been spent at Chestatee High School. She began her career in 2005 as an English teacher, later serving as the school’s media specialist from 2015 to 2019. Since then, she has held the role of assistant principal.
“Jennifer Gibson has shown outstanding leadership at Chestatee High School,” Schofield said. “Her ability to connect with students, lead instructional improvement, and build relationships with the entire school community make her the right choice. East Hall will continue to thrive in this next season.”
Gibson holds a bachelor of science in secondary English education and an education specialist degree in learning, design and technology from the University of Georgia, as well as a master’s degree in secondary English education from the University of North Georgia.
