My name is Willie Jarman and I am proud to be the principal at Trexler Middle.  I am a native to the area and have been a part of the Onslow County School system for 35 years (13 as a student and 22 as an educator).  My wife, Misty Jarman, works at Richlands High School as the Testing Coordinator. We have two children, Riley and Brady.  Riley is a student at Coastal Carolina Community College and Brady is a student at Trexler Middle School.  

Work Experience

• Richlands High School- Teacher, Coach, Athletic Director
• Northwoods Elementary School- Assistant Principal
• Jacksonville High School- Assistant Principal
• Carolina Forest International Elementary School- Assistant Principal
• Summersill Elementary School- Principal
• Trexler Middle School- Principal

As the assistant principal at Trexler, I oversee instruction, student discipline, and I work with the North Carolina Student Accountability program.

Originally from the Pittsburgh area, I moved to the great state of North Carolina in 2004.  I fell in love with the area and haven't left since!   I do still keep my sports loyalties, and I can be found watching the Steelers, Penguins or Pirates play during their respective seasons.

At Trexler Middle School, I wear a variety of hats.  One of my primary responsibilities is to help your child be successful.  If he or she is struggling with behavior, grades, or friends, I'm only an email away. To ensure that all students receive an appropriate education, I work closely with the Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) Specialist and Exceptional Children staff.

I am a product of the Onslow County Public schools where I attended Thompson, Bell Fork Elementary, Parkwood Elementary, Northwoods Park Middle and graduated from Jacksonville High School in 2003. From high school I attended what is now the University of Mount Olive and in 2008 earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Social Studies Education.  From there I taught and coached soccer at White Oak High School for a wonderful 7 years. 

In 2015, I completed my Master of School Administration and Curriculum Instruction from East Carolina University and started my Administration career in August of that year.  I was the assistant principal at Richlands Elementary during the 2015-2016 school year and spent the past two years at Southwest Elementary.  I am excited to start this journey here at Trexler Middle and happy to be back in Richlands. 

It is my goal to continue to build relationships with our staff, students and parents to ensure success for our students.  Family and relationships are very important to me and will be a vital part to achieving our goals.
