Dear Sandburg Staff and Families,
I am writing to inform you that I am resigning from Fairfax County Public Schools. I have been fortunate to have spent 20 years in public education, including the last seven years as your principal at Sandburg Middle School, and each day has been a truly rewarding experience. I plan to relocate to North Carolina to be closer to my family and I am looking forward to taking some time off before exploring new career options. I will always cherish the memories and relationships that I have built here at Sandburg and I wish all of you the very best in the years to come. It has also been a special privilege for me to work with such a dedicated and devoted staff and I am confident their focus will remain on student success. I leave knowing that Sandburg Middle School is in a good place and that our school community is strong.
The process to choose a new principal will begin in the near future. The Region 3 office will provide you information about their selection process and you can be assured that great care will be taken to find an outstanding individual to lead Sandburg in the future.
It has been a great honor to work with Sandburg Middle School students, families and staff. Thank you for supporting me and for helping make Sandburg a special place.
Sincerely,
Terrence Yarborough
