Magda Parvey is Tuesday’s Hometown Hero.

Dr. Parvey is the outgoing assistant superintendent for instructional services at Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools.  Dr. Parvey has gotten a lot done since 2012.

She came to our community from New York and will be returning to that state.

With Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools superintendent Dr. Tom Forcella also leaving the district, it’s quite a time of transition.

You can nominate your own Hometown Hero.  WCHL has honored local members of our community everyday since 2002.
