Greetings.
I am excited to serve as the Director of the New Albany South Tippah Union County (NASTUC) Alternative School. It will be our goal to provide students an educational experience while meeting the social and emotional needs of each student. Students will have the opportunity to continue with their academic classes from their home schools while enrolled as a student at NASTUC.
We will assist students with making the right choices and empowering them to demonstrate consistent improved behavior upon return to their home school. We will hold students to high expectations and model the expectations for our students. We desire to build working relationships with all stakeholders for the success of our students.
If you have questions or concerns, please call 662-538-4100 or email at apittman@nasd.ms.
Sincerely,
Avence Pittman Jr., Ph.D.
Director
