Bill Sellers, assistant principal at Oak Mountain Middle School, has been named Assistant Principal of the Year for 2012 by the Alabama Association of Secondary School Principals (AASSP). Sellers was nominated for the award by Principal Larry Haynes and OMMS faculty members.
Sellers learned of the award at a surprise assembly on Nov. 28, where several family members were on hand to help surprise him with the announcement. They included: Gene and Charlotte Sellers (parents); Laura Sellers (wife); Jennah, Jonah, and Julianna (children); Camile Lozito (sister); and Nick and Sophia Lozito (nephew and niece).
“This was a total surprise,” Sellers said. “I wasn’t quite sure what was going on when I saw my family come out. I had no knowledge of the nomination.”
As the winner of the state award, Sellers will be recognized at both the state and national levels. He will be Alabama’s candidate for the National Assistant Principal of the Year program, which is sponsored by Virco Manufacturing Corporation and the National Association of Secondary School Principals. He will also serve a term on the Board of Directors of the AASSP.
Sellers has served as assistant principal at Oak Mountain Middle since 1998. He is also taught science in Coosa County and Vestavia Hills.
