Assistant Principal - Shane Arp

Arp is a veteran educator, administrator, and coach with over two decades of experience within the district , and he brings a proven track record of leadership, integrity, and dedication to the Model community.

Arp transitions to MHS following a highly successful tenure as the Assistant Principal and Athletic Director for Armuchee High School (AHS). His exceptional leadership in athletic administration was recently recognized statewide when he was named the Fall 2024 Georgia Athletic Directors Association (GADA) Athletic Director of the Year—an honor voted on by regional principals and fellow athletic directors.

Arp began his academic journey by earning a Bachelor’s degree in Middle Grades Education from Shorter College, where he attended on a baseball scholarship. Committed to continuous professional growth, he went on to earn a Master’s degree in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment from Walden University, an Educational Specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lincoln Memorial University, and a Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership from Berry College.

Over his 15 years as an administrator and 20-plus years as a coach, Arp has been a pillar in building quality, relationship-driven, and supportive student programs. His extensive coaching resume spans middle and high school levels across multiple sports—including football, baseball, softball, basketball, and track.

Arp will take the place of Mike House, who announced his retirement this week, and we thank him for all that he did for the MHS family. 

In his new role, Arp will work closely with the MHS administration team to build upon the school's strong academic foundation, utilizing his deep education background to help students prepare for post-secondary success, being an asset to all he encounters.
