Congrats to the Principal

B7’s own Bobby Twitty (aka Barbara Garrett), principal at Tonaquint Intermediate School, was recently named 2014 Administrator of the Year by the Utah Middle Level Association.  UMLA’s highest honor is presented annually to one administrator who best “addresses the unique needs of young adolescents by providing leadership and support to educators and families and promoting effective practices and programs which improve middle level education.” 

Principal Garrett began her career in education 33 years ago as an elementary school teacher in the Provo School District.  In 1995 she accepted an administrative position with the Washington County School District then opened Desert Hills Intermediate in 2000.   In 2007 she opened Tonaquint Intermediate - the school most recently named the top intermediate school in Utah and nationally recognized as one of nine Utah Schools to Watch.
