Clark to head Pea Ridge High School

Charley Clark was named principal of Pea Ridge High School Thursday following the resignation of Matt Wood.

Wood, principal of Pea Ridge Middle School last year, resigned effective immediately, according to school superintendent Rick Neal. The resignation of high school counselor Jennifer Miller, effective immediately, was also accepted.

Clark, director of Pea Ridge Manufacturing and Business Academy, will head both schools, Neal said.

Clark said he is looking forward to the challenge and has capable administrators to assist.
