The High Point Board of Education named Jacqueline Garner as principal of Montlieu Avenue Elementary School succeeding retiring Georgia Thayer. Garner, director of elementary education since 1973, will bring long Guilford County teaching experience and NC Greensboro master’s degree to the post. The board also heard a junior high athletic program report from a task force formed in 1976, which urged considering soccer for junior highs later and evaluating baseball as a possible addition once senior highs adopt a program.
