Rock Hill Schools Superintendent-elect Dr. Bill Cook announced yesterday the hiring of Dr. John Jones as Rock Hill Schools’ new Chief Academic and Accountability Officer.
Jones comes from Union County, North Carolina and will be replacing Dr. Harriett Jaworowski, who resigned this month after 12 years as associate superintendent of instruction and accountability.
Jones is originally from Chesterfield, South Carolina and is a graduate of Wingate University. From 2009 to 2012, Jones served as the director of middle school education for Union County Public Schools, North Carolina’s sixth largest district with 41,500 students.
For the past year, Jones has served UCPS as assistant superintendent for teaching and learning where his responsibilities included increasing student performance and overall organizational effectiveness.
