Greetings Baron Family,

It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself to you as the new assistant principal of Gates County High School. My name is Melissa A. Perry Bembry. I look forward to joining the Baron Family and contributing to a safe, positive environment that fosters high levels of achievement. With great enthusiasm, I am eager to begin this adventure in learning with our staff, students, and families. I attended Elizabeth City State University, where I received my Bachelor's in Sociology and master’s in School Administration. I also attend East Carolina University, where I received my teaching certification in middle grades education. This is my 12th year in education and my first year as an administrator. For 11 of those years, I have taught in traditional and alternative learning settings, middle grades history and math, secondary math, and 5th-grade math and social studies.

As an educational leader, I value building positive relationships that support academic and social growth for our students. I am committed to leading in a way that supports our students as we challenge and prepare them to reach beyond their expectations to become competitive and innovative future leaders. I am honored to serve as the new assistant principal of Gates County High School, and I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for this school year. I look forward to meeting all of our students and their families as we embark upon a successful school year.

#Baron Pride!

My name is Geannine Chlomoudis and it is with Baron Pride that I embark on an amazing new school year.  I am honored to be one of the Assistant Principals here at Gates County High School.  I have been in education for more than 25 years.  The first 24 years were spent in elementary education, with the last four of those being at Gatesville Elementary.  As a resident of Gates County, I believe in our students and I believe in our schools.  Through collaboration with students, parents/guardians, faculty, and staff, academic and social success is possible for all students.  I am determined to provide the necessary support for staff and students so that high expectations can be set and met.  I am excited about being a part of each student’s high school journey.  Give me a call or stop by, my door is always open.
