Chasity Markley GWES Principal

Hello!  I am so excited to be the principal at George Ward Elementary!   Before becoming a principal, I taught Gifted education, third grade, kindergarten, and Title I.   My career with Randolph County Schools started in 2007.   I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Davis and Elkins College, a Master's degree in Gifted Education from West Virginia University, and a Principal's certification from Marshall University.   
My husband James and I have been married for 3 years and together we have four sons.   We love to travel, camp, and spend time together (which is usually at a sporting event!).  We are a year-round sports family - basketball, baseball, and travel leagues in between! ​
 I am looking forward to a great year as a Bullpup where I believe all students can be successful through engaging and meaningful learning experiences, positive parental involvement, and community partnerships.
