Mr. Frazier has four children, three daughters and a son. His eldest attends Savannah State and his youngest is just starting elementary school.

“I can’t wait to be back in a small town where relationships made for years truly matter,” said Mr. Murner.

She continued, “I want to honor traditions of the school and push our students to new heights. I am truly honored to have been chosen to lead such a great school.”

The JCHS faculty and staff will host a reception for the community to meet and greet Mrs. Murner on Thursday, July 16. The “drop-in” reception will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the JCHS media center.
