The Warren County Board of Education unanimously voted to hire Keith Sutton as Superintendent. His new contract runs from January 1, 2022 – June 30, 2025. Mr. Sutton has been serving as Interim Superintendent since July 1 and will continue in that role through the end of the year, when he becomes Superintendent.
“Mr. Sutton has done an excellent job over the past four and a half months in Warren County, making recommendations and decisions that have significantly impacted our students and staff for the better,” said Board of Education Chair Jennifer Sims. “With his long standing track record of educational service and advocacy, we’re excited to have Mr. Sutton’s leadership and experience working to benefit our families and the Warren County community.”
“I feel like my years of working as an education consultant, advocate, legislative liaison, community organizer, and policy maker, in addition to my years of service as a member of the Wake County Board of Education, have all led me to this moment and this opportunity in Warren County,” Sutton said. “Warren County Schools has a great team that I’m honored to work with every day and we have promising students, eager to learn. Together, we’ll work to ensure our students and staff have access to the resources they need to effectively teach and learn. When teachers and students are successful, our entire community benefits, making it that much easier for future teachers and students to build on that success.”

Warren Early College High School (WECHS) is thrilled to announce that Khadijah T. Howze, Esq., a proud member of the school’s inaugural graduating class of 2013, will deliver the 2025 Commencement Address. Her remarkable journey from student to Assistant District Attorney is a powerful testament to perseverance, purpose, and the enduring impact of community.

There have been two times when wake county has dumped its trash in Warren County. One was when they dumped PCB`s on the side of the roads the other was when Keith Sutton left the Wake Board of Education and became superintendent of Warren County Schools. Still up in the air which one had the worse impact.
