After four years as Iuka Grade School Superintendent, Sam Alli has resigned effective this week to become Principal at Brownstown High School. Alli says his time at Iuka has been extremely rewarding and is proud of the efforts of the staff.
“You look at your state test score and I think we are doing extremely well, in light of coming out of COVID, and a few years after the fact. That’s a testament to our hard working staff and the kids we have here. They just go get it, take the initiative, and work hard, so I am very proud of that.”
Alli is also proud of building improvements that were made to make the school building more safe and secure. He notes the community is very close knit and supportive of the school.
Alli has been replaced by Derrick Vincent who was named Superintendent effective July 1st. Vincent was already on the school staff and has been working on the transition since his appointment in January.
Alli says moving back to the principal role at the high school level is where he is most comfortable. Alli was Principal at Odin School and a teacher at Salem Community High School before becoming Superintendent at Iuka Grade.
