Jim Head

Adopted our grandson Max in July of 2014
Max is a wonderful young man who teaches Music in a Special Needs School in Tamp Florida.

Betsy and I graduated from Truman (first time) in 1973. MA in 86 and Ed. Spec. in 89. I taught Speech for 16 years and then went into Administration. HS Principal at Centralia for 10 years and retired from Troy Buchanan in 2004. During my days in Administration, I served as President of the State Principals Association and then was elected to the National Board of Secondary School Principals. Must have been all the time I spent in the office in HS?? I served as Director of Administrative Field Experience for William Woods University for 15 years.

Jim and Betsy now spend most of their time in Florida. We play golf and pickle ball and enjoy our church outreach programs.
