Dr. Deborah Bass Says Goodbye to A.L. Corbett Middle School

Wagener would like to thank Dr. Debbie Bass for serving our community as Principal of A.L. Corbett Middle School for the past 12 years.  Bass started her professional career in public relations.  When she was asked to substitute at A.L. Corbett, the experience eventually led her to pursue an education certificate.  Bass taught at several schools and spent six years as a USC Aiken professor before returning to the school district.  She was an assistant at A.L. Corbett before becoming principal 12 years ago.

"It's been a wonderful experience with a great community and great kids," Bass said.  "There's been a lot of support for moving from where we started.  I think we've done a successful job in securing resources for a school our size and in a rural area." 

Bass would like to resume writing on a regular basis, perhaps in the form of short stories.  Bass is also interested in providing the public more and better information about what is going on in the schools.

"This is my time to conclude this part of my career," said Bass.  "I wish the very best to everybody.  This is a great school, which I call 'a diamond in the rough.'"
