Welcome to the web page of Lee Givins.

Our principal is Mr. Lee Givins, a graduate of The Citadel with a masters degree from Furman University. He was in the classroom three and a half years as a social studies teacher, served as assistant principal for two years at Southside High School, assistant principal for three years at Beck Academy, and assistant principal for four years at Northwest Middle before taking his current position. He is now in his third year as principal of Northwest.

On educational leadership, Mr. Givins believes: 

A leader must motivate people to be and do their best in every aspect of their professional and personal situations.

To motivate people, the leader must know the key motivators for each person. A leader should work to remove obstacles preventing his followers from fulfilling his expectations. A leader must know how to follow in order to know how to lead. A leader should be on guard, always, to be the kind of leader others would want to follow. He should remember his followers are watching and emulating his spoken and unspoken lead.
