The Jackson County Board of Education voted unanimously to approve Holly Whisnant as the new principal for Cullowhee Valley School. Whisnant, a Sylva native who is currently the assistant principal at Fairview School, will replace Kathryn Kantz who will retire in June after 11 years as the school’s principal. Whisnant has been with Jackson County Public Schools for 19 years and spent all but one of those years as either a teacher or an administrator at Fairview. Despite the change, she is excited about the move to Cullowhee Valley.
