Oconee County High School is getting new principal: Kevin Yancey has been an assistant principal at the school in Watkinsville since 2015. His promotion is effective June 1. Yancey takes over for interim principal Dallas LeDuff, who has held the job since Ben Wiggins left Oconee County last fall to become the school superintendent in Thomasville.

“Kevin Yancey is an outstanding leader and educator who has played a vital role in the success of Oconee County High School,” said Superintendent Jason L.

I look forward to continuing our standard of excellence with the incredible faculty, staff, students, and parents of our school community. It is certainly a great day to be a Warrior!”
