William Lenoir Middle

My name is Matthew Ross and I am proud to serve as the principal of William Lenoir Middle School. Throughout my career, I have worked as a principal, assistant principal, classroom teacher, and coach, and I truly enjoy supporting students as they learn and grow. A majority of my career has been spent in middle schools, and I greatly appreciate both the challenge and the importance of serving students and families during this pivotal time in their lives.

I’m originally from the coast of North Carolina, but I spent most of my life in the Charlotte area before moving to Lenoir, where I now call home. I earned a B.A. in English Literature and a licensure in middle grades education from UNC Charlotte.  I later completed an M.S.A. at Western Carolina University.  Please feel free to reach out if I can do anything for you or your student.  Go Wildcats!
