Sarah Holsomback Named Principal of Armuchee Primary School

Floyd County Schools (FCS) is proud to announce the appointment of Sarah Holsomback as the new principal of Armuchee Primary School (APS).

“I am incredibly honored to have the opportunity to serve as principal of Armuchee Primary School,” said Holsomback. “APS is a special place—a National Blue Ribbon School, the proud home of where a TRIBE begins, and personally, the place where all four of my children began their school journey.

The faculty and staff at APS are a family, a dedicated team, and I look forward to coming back to where I started my FCS career. As a resident of Armuchee, my family and I believe that the future of our community passes through the doors of APS every day. I want to ensure our students feel cared for, engage in meaningful learning experiences, and develop the social and emotional skills essential for navigating a changing world. I am so eager and excited to continue to help build the foundation for a tribe of lifelong learners at APS.”

Holsomback brings 21 years of experience in education across primary, elementary, and middle grades in multiple states and districts. She has served 11 years in FCS, including nine years as an assistant principal, and is currently serving as Assistant Principal at Armuchee Elementary.

“Mrs. Holsomback is a proven leader who understands the heart of Armuchee,” said Dr. Gleen White, FCS Superintendent. “Her experience, dedication to students, and deep roots in the community make her a perfect fit for this role. She leads well and with compassion, and we are confident that Armuchee Primary will continue to thrive under her leadership.”

A resident of the Armuchee community, Holsomback and her husband, Chase, are proud parents of four children—Eva (9th grade), Joy (6th grade), Clara (5th grade), and Izeyah (Kindergarten)—all of whom attend Armuchee schools.

Holsomback will begin her new role on July 1, replacing long-time principal Carrie Graves who is retiring. FCS extends its sincere gratitude to Mrs. Graves for her dedicated service. She made a lasting impact on our families, and we are forever grateful for her commitment, care, and faithful service.
