Hello Four Oaks Middle students, parents, and stakeholders,

My name is Kenneth Bennett, and I am serving as FOMS Interim Principal for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year. 

Hello Cardinal Family!  I am excited about joining the Cardinal family this year and to help lead this great school.  I was born and raised in Clayton, where I attended Clayton area schools.  I graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Middle School Science Education.  I then decided to get my Master's Degree in Science Education from East Carolina University.  I spent 10 years in the middle school and high school classroom as a science teacher when I decided that I wanted to move into school leadership.  I went back to school for a Masters in School Administration from Western Carolina University.  After completing my school administrative degree, I became a curriculum coach for JCPS and then moved into school administration in Wayne County at Charles B. Aycock High School.  I am very happy to be back as a school leader in Johnston County.  I have a wonderful daughter who is in the 7th grade, and a fantastic stepson who is in the 11th grade.  I am also a mom to two dogs and three cats.  I enjoy spending my free time in the mountains with my family.  I look forward to getting to know each FOMS family this year!
