Greetings Bobcat community!

It is my pleasure to serve as the Assistant Principal for the 2023-2024 academic year.  I am eager to support and learn along the way. Thank you for the warm welcome!

My name is Dr. D'Andrea Heggs.  An alumna of The University of Memphis. This is my 17th year in education.  My journey started as an ESL classroom teacher.  At year seven, I transitioned to administration. My educational background consists of a dual Honors bachelor's degree with the distinction of Cum Laude in English as a Second Language & African and African American Studies.  A Masters of Arts in Curriculum and Instructional Leadership. After completing the Principal Preparation Certification program I completed the Doctorate of Education in Leadership and Policy Studies.

My tenure has been within private, parochial, charter, and public institutions.  I have worked with students ranging from Pre-K to graduate school.  All of my experiences have shaped and solidified my belief that all students deserve a quality educational experience.

I am new to Rocky Mount and have enjoyed traveling to various neighboring communities.  My husband and children thoroughly enjoy the local food and markets!  I enjoy reading, animals, and traveling.  I am a fur momma of an Orange Tabby cat and two Guinea Pigs.
