Columbia, TN (July 1, 2024) — Maury County Public Schools Superintendent Lisa Ventura is thrilled to announce Mr. Ronnie Brewer as the new principal of Hampshire Unit School.

Mr. Brewer brings 16 years of educational experience to his new role at Hampshire Unit School. For the last two school years (2022-2023 & 2023-2024), he has served as Principal of Hickman County High School in Centerville, TN. Prior to that, he was the Assistant Principal at East Hickman High School during the 2021-2022 school year. His connection to Hampshire Unit School is strong, having taught there from 2017-2021 as a high school math teacher, Athletic Director, and High School Girls Basketball Coach. Earlier in his career, Mr. Brewer worked in Lewis County from 2010-2017, teaching middle and high school math and coaching girls basketball at both levels.

A proud graduate of Lewis Co. High School in 1985, Mr. Brewer continued his education at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), earning a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a Secondary Education Minor, a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and an Education Specialists Degree in Administration.

Mr. Brewer and his wife of 35 years, Lisa, currently reside in Hohenwald, TN, where he has lived most of his life. They are extremely blessed with 3 adult children (all married) and 5 grandchildren.

"I am extremely excited about being back at Hampshire Unit School. Some of my most enjoyable years as an educator came during my time at Hampshire. There's just something special about a unit school and the sense of family that comes with it. Leaving Hampshire back in 2021 was a difficult decision and I made the move because I was ready to move my career to the administration role. I always said that if I had the chance to return to Hampshire in an admin role that I would pursue that opportunity, and now that I've been given that opportunity, I can't wait to get started and work alongside the great staff at HUS," said Mr. Brewer.

Superintendent Lisa Ventura expressed her confidence in Mr. Brewer's leadership, stating, "Ronnie Brewer's educational background make him an exceptional choice for principal. His experience as a teacher, coach, and administrator within our school community uniquely positions him to lead with insight and dedication. We look forward to seeing the positive impact he will continue to have on our students and staff. I am confident that his love for Hampshire and the unit school community will be evident in his decision-making. I look forward to his return to Hampshire Unit School in this role."
