Davidson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Emily Lipe is stepping down after a decades-long career with the system.
Dr. Lipe’s retirement is effective Sept. 1, just days after the start of the school year. Prior to becoming superintendent in 2017, she had served as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.
Lipe holds a doctorate from High Point University and master’s degrees from UNC Charlotte and UNC Greensboro.
Lipe began her teaching career in Surry County Schools in 1987. Two years later she took a position as an English Teacher at West Davidson High School.
In 2002, she was named principal of Davis-Townsend Elementary and earned the system’s “principal of the year” honors in 2007.
There are more than 30 schools in the district. It’s one of three systems in Davidson County, along with Lexington City Schools and Thomasville City Schools.
The Davidson County school board has tapped Tabitha Broadway, Executive Director of Communications and Strategic Planning, as Lipe’s interim replacement.
