Northern Wake is welcoming two new principals when school starts in August.

The Wake County school board appointed Therman Flowers principal of Millbrook Elementary School and Melda Smith principal of West Millbrook Middle School.

Flowers will head the International Baccalaureate program at Millbrook, which focuses on developing the talents of youngsters. The school is at 1520 E. Millbrook Road.

Flowers earned a bachelor's and master's degree from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

He was a teacher in the early 1990s at Apex Elementary School. Following Apex, Flowers had teaching and principal stints in Guilford County before being named principal at C.C. Spaulding Biosphere Magnet School in Durham.

Flowers has a license in elementary education as a school administrator.

Smith leads the Wildcats of West Millbrook, at 8115 Strickland Road. With a bachelor's degree in education from N.C. Central University and a master's degree in school administration from North Carolina State University, Smith comes from the Vance County school system.

Smith has been an assistant principal for Eaton-Johnson Middle School and a middle school education coordinator for the Vance County school district.

Her last position before being appointed to West Millbrook was as the principal for Clark Elementary School.

Smith holds a license in social studies, language arts, a mentor, school administrator and in elementary education.

Millbrook High School's incoming freshman camp was inadvertently left out of the list that appeared last week.

The C.A.T.S.(Character, Achievement, Teambuilding and Success) camp will be held Aug. 9 and 10.

Students will get the chance to meet counselors and administrators and receive their schedules and locker combinations.

Millbrook is at 2201 Spring Forest Road. For more information, call 850-8787.
