My name is Staci Hughes. I am a native of Monroeville, Alabama where I graduated from High School in 1996. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2000, my first Master’s degree from William Carey University in 2003, and my second Master’s degree from Capella University in 2013. I have been in education since 2000, and this will be my fifth year as Principal in Smith County School District. Previously, I taught mathematics at Petal High School for 14 years earning the school some of the best scores in the state. I also served as Assistant Principal at Hattiesburg High School from 2014-2019.

 I am very delighted to serve parents, teachers, and students as Head Principal for Raleigh High School where our motto for the school year is LIONS: Leaders In Our Nation’s Success. I am serving on a team that is striving to create the best learning environment where students can excel and prepare themselves for the challenges of our ever changing society. I am looking forward to a great school year. I strongly encourage all parents to become active participants in their child’s learning. WE are LIONS! 

Please contact me if I can be of any assistance. Go Lions!!!

My name is Morris Cascio, and I'm from Seminary, MS where I graduated high school in 1983. While I have served 10 years in the US Army and MS National Guard, I also received my bachelor's and master's degrees from William Carey University. I served as a head football coach and as a teacher for 14 years before becoming an administrator.

The 2022-2023 school year is my first year as an administrator, and I'm very excited to serve in the Raleigh community. Hard work and discipline are very important traits, and I want students to know that if given an opportunity, anyone has a chance to succeed. 

I look forward to building relationships and becoming part of a great team here at RHS.
