G.A. Buie has been chosen as the next principal of Eudora High School.

The Eudora school board made the choice at a meeting Thursday night.

“Mr. Buie is a great fit for our district,” Superintendent Don Grosdidier said. “He was looking for an opportunity to return to the high school environment in a smaller community like ours, and I am excited to have him join our team.”

Buie currently is the principal at Wheatridge Middle School in the Gardner-Edgerton school district. Previously, he was principal at Anderson County High School in Garnett. In 2005, he was honored by the National Association of Secondary Principals to represent Kansas as the Kansas MetLife High School Principal of the Year.

He also serves on the board for the National Association of Secondary School Principals.

Buie will replace current EHS principal Dale Sample, who is retiring.
