Roy “Richie” Weaver was appointed to director of finance by the Henry County School Board at its monthly meeting on April 11.
The appointment was recommended by Schools Superintendent Dr. Amy Blake-Lewis.
Weaver succeeds Dr. Benjamin Boone, who was promoted to assistant superintendent for operations and administrative services in the fall of 2023 and who has continued to perform responsibilities for both positions since that time.
Weaver has served students as a secondary math teacher, an assistant principal, and a principal. He joined Henry County Schools as an assistant principal at Bassett High School in 2019 after serving more than two decades as an administrator in the North Carolina public school system.
“I am very excited and grateful to begin this new opportunity as the Director of Finance for Henry County Schools,” he said. “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the students, staff and parents of Bassett High School and seeing their many successes. I am looking forward to working with the HCPS finance department and all stakeholders to ensure we manage the financial resources effectively and efficiently to support the goals and priorities of our students and staff.”
“Our director of finance plays a critical role in ensuring we’re able to fund the programs and staffing required for students to achieve at the highest levels,” said Blake-Lewis. “As a veteran educator and administrator, Mr. Weaver brings a keen understanding of student and staff needs, and I look forward to his contributions in this new role.”
Weaver holds a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics education, as well as a Masters in School Administration, both from North Carolina State University. He will transition into his position as Director of Finance effective July 1.
