Chances are if you are connected to the Alexander City School system in any way you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Beverly Price, who was appointed superintendent of schools earlier this month. Price has been a source of warmth within the system since her first position as assistant principal at Radney Elementary School began in 2002. Since then, she has shared smiles, laughter, celebrations and even a few hardships with community members and coworkers she’s befriended since her arrival. 

A Horseshoe Bend native, Price fell in love with the strong bond among community members in the city and said she truly feels like the support of the community heavily influences the children she has cared for daily in the schools over the course of 20 years. She plans to take full advantage of the support the school system receives from parents and other residents as she takes on her new position as superintendent of the school district, a role that she already wears well.
