Heith is a seasoned high school principal who is still a coach at heart. Known as Coach Yearwood to his former players, he enjoys building relationships with those he has mentored over the years.
Heith began his teaching career as a social science teacher and coach. He has been serving as a school administrator since 2004.
In 2012 Heith and his wife Amanda embarked on their first international mission trip. After spending time in Africa, Heith came back to Alabama with a new perspective on missions. His desire became to be more aware of the need for God in his own community.
