Warren first joined Gwinnett County Public Schools in 1991, as a first-grade teacher at Bethesda Elementary in Lawrenceville. She comes with 26 years' experience in education, including time in North Carolina. She has also been named a teacher of the year twice, once at a North Carolina school, and once at Annistown Elementary.
Owens-Twaites, who has been the principal at Anderson-Livsey for just one year, resigned recently amid discontent, at least among some parents. However, she will finish out the school year.
