Lindsey, 42, said that in his new role, he’ll help ensure administrators and teachers have the tools to continue making Lee County a successful district.
“My job is to make everyone around me’s job easier, to make sure that I’m able to provide them with whatever it is they need to do their job well,” Lindsey said.
Coming directly from a building-level principal role, Lindsey will bring firsthand insight into how things have changed for K-12 schools since the COVID-19 pandemic and current challenges faced by school administrators.
“I’m looking forward to it,” Lindsey said. “I plan on working hard and being a servant leader.”

He’s spent 11 years with the Lee County School District, including three years as assistant principal and four years as principal of Mooreville High School.
Lindsey earned a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s in education leadership from the University of Mississippi.
Magee touted Lindsey’s extensive knowledge of educational leadership and a track record of supporting teachers and students.
“He ultimately wants what’s best for students,” Magee said. “And I feel like having somebody with those characteristics and qualities in this office is going to be an asset for not only the leadership of the district, working through and with our principals, but in serving our communities.”
