“Beverly Rudolph is one of the many exemplary principals we have here at Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools,” Causby said in a release. “She is the most significant person in the lives of the students at Culbreth as they continue their educational journeys. You can tell how important each and every student’s education is to her, as well as the morale of her staff. Mrs. Rudolph was selected by all the other CHCCS principals as being the best of the best and you can’t get a better recommendation than that.”
Rudolph began her tenure as principal in 2011. She was an assistant principal at East Chapel Hill High School prior to her time at Culbreth. Rudolph also taught for Tarrboro City Schools, Buncombe County Schools and Cabarrus County Schools in her career.
Rudolph will now go on to represent CHCCS at the state level.
