The Barrow County School System is happy to welcome Dr. Heather Hawk as a new Assistant Principal of the Barrow Arts and Sciences Academy, starting with the 2026-2027 school year.

Dr. Hawk brings 19 years of experience in middle and high school education, serving as a classroom teacher, department chair, and instructional coach, most recently in Newton County. She says it's an honor to become a Blazer and is excited to join BASA in its commitment to excellence.

“I look forward to partnering with students, staff, and families to build a positive and inclusive environment where learning thrives and growth is nurtured for every member of our school community. I believe that when we work together with purpose and care, we can create a space where every student is encouraged, supported, and equipped with the skills and confidence to achieve success in and beyond the classroom. Let’s go, Blazers!”
