Phillips Middle School has a new principal: Tomeka Ward-Satterfield.

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School Board approved the hire at a meeting Thursday night. Ward-Satterfield has been assistant principal at East Chapel Hill High since 2009, after working more than ten years as a teacher, counselor, and administrator in Durham and Alamance Counties.

The board also approved two other hires at the same meeting: Ileana Herrera is the new assistant principal at Chapel Hill High School, and Scott Fearrington is the district’s new director of transportation.

Herrera is coming to the district from Chatham County Schools. Fearrington has been with the district for 17 years; he’s served as Community Schools Program Supervisor since 2011.
