His dedication to academic excellence and student achievement has earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues at OIS.

“I am so honored to accept the role and responsibility of being the principal at Oxford Intermediate School next year,” Goolsby said. “As I move from assistant principal to principal, I remain dedicated to nurturing a learning environment where every student can thrive. I want to continue this journey at OIS with an amazing staff where compassion guides our actions, excellence is our standard, and every individual’s potential is valued.”

“Mr. Goolsby’s appointment as principal of Oxford Intermediate School is a testament to his exceptional leadership skills and dedication to student success,”  Herrington said. “We are confident that under his guidance, Oxford Intermediate School will continue to thrive academically and foster a positive learning environment for all students.”
