Messimer named new high school principal  Messimer
Author: Michelle Friesen Rhea County High School Associate Principal
Jesse Messimer was promoted to principal of the school Friday.
A committee consisting of outgoing school superintendent Dallas Smith, incoming superintendent Jerry Levengood and Assistant Superintendent Rebecca Isaacs met on Friday to interview three people for the job. The other candidates were from Bledsoe and Hamilton counties. "We felt like he was the best candidate for the job," said Levengood, the former RCHS principal who was recently promoted to system superintendent. "He has 15 years of experience in high school administration, good connection with the faculty and staff, and he was certainly interested in the job." Messimer is a long time Dayton resident and received a bachelor of science degree in agriculture before earning a master's degree at Tennessee Tech in administration and supervision. He began working at Rhea County High School in the early 1990s as a science teacher, then as vocational director and finally as associate principal. "I'm inheriting a school that is academically a good school," Messimer said on Friday. He said one of his goals as principal is to smoothly implement the Tennessee Diploma Project for the 2009-10 school year. The project requires all students to complete more math, personal finance and physical education credits before qualifying for graduation.
