Dr. Kelly Withers was sworn in as Rowan-Salisbury Schools’ seventh superintendent on Monday, September 26, at the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education business meeting.

“I wanted to take just a minute to thank the Board one last time for letting me serve this community as superintendent,” she said. “There’s much work to be done, and I look forward to getting started.”

Withers spent more than two decades as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and district administrator at Rowan-Salisbury Schools. Most recently, she served as the Deputy Superintendent for Cabarrus County Schools.

Withers and her husband Lee are proud Rowan County citizens. They have three children - a son, Carson, a sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill, and twin daughters, Cailynn and Campbell, who are freshmen at South Rowan High School.
