Trey Bailey will join Surf City Elementary bringing in 14 years of experience in public education. Bailey has worked for elementary, middle, and high schools.
“His extensive experience and dedication to fostering a supportive and collaborative school culture will undoubtedly contribute to the continued success and growth of our students and community,” Dr. Brad Breedlove, superintendent of Pender County Schools, said.
