Principal's message

Dear NNTC Families,

It is my pleasure and honor to introduce myself as principal of the Northern Neck Technical
Center Governors STEM Academy for Agriculture and Maritime Studies. I am incredibly proud and
excited to represent such a tremendous regional school representing six local divisions. I am committed
to carrying out the mission and vision of NNTC, which consists of providing a well-educated, technically
trained, and highly competitive workforce that will be recognized statewide.

Before becoming principal of the Northern Neck Technical Center Governors STEM Academy for
Agriculture and Maritime Studies, I spent seven years in the classroom setting as an instructor and two
years as the Career Director of NNTC. As the principal, I am dedicated to building positive relationships,
high-quality learning, and maintaining a positive environment that encourages our students to celebrate
their unique strengths throughout their journey from the classroom to the workplace.

I am excited to support our students and staff members with my experience and openness to
learning. Because the relationships between families and the school are vital to the success of our
students, I encourage you to become involved in every way possible. Together we can provide endless
opportunities to brighten NNTC students' futures.

Sincerely,
Dr. Samantha Dixon
Principal
