Drexel Elementary School Principal Jessie Gravel has been named Regional Principal of the Year for the Northwest Regional Education Service Alliance (NWRESA). The surprise announcement came during a student assembly at Drexel Elementary School, where Gravel has been the principal since 2019. Making the announcement in front of an excited crowd of students, staff and Gravel’s family members was Dr. Patrick Greene, the current Wells Fargo North Carolina Principal of the Year. Among those joining him were last year’s NWRESA Principal of the Year Dr. Heather Melton-Freeman, NWRESA Regional Education Facilitator Monica Shepherd, and Dr. Mike Swan, Superintendent of Burke County Public Schools.
