CARY -- The Wake County school board announced tonight that two schools are getting new principals and that Enloe High School's principal is moving to Central Office to oversee the magnet school program.

Beth Cochran, Enloe's principal since 2005, will now become the senior director of magnet programs. Enloe, located in East Raleigh, is the school system's flagship magnet school.

Wade Martin was named principal of Middle Creek High in Cary with a salary of $94,700. He's been principal of Martin Middle since 2006.

Martin will start at Middle Creek on Feb. 1. In the meantime, the board extended Thomas Dixon's contract as the school's interim principal.

Fred Sawyer was named principal of Durant Road Middle in North Raleigh with a salary of $89,402. Sawyer was principal of Rogers-Herr Middle in Durham before his most recent job as that district's executive director of secondary professional development.
