The Sheridan School District has announced that current East End Intermediate School Principal Dr. Amber Binz will move into that same position at East End Middle School for the upcoming 2026-27 school year. East End Intermediate Assistant Principal Liane Teague will be promoted to take Binz’s position as principal at EEI. The Sheridan School District Board of Education voted to approve both moves at its regular monthly meeting on Monday, March 9.
“We are excited to see Dr. Binz and Mrs. Teague take on these new leadership roles within our district,” said Sheridan Superintendent Chad Pitts. “They each bring exceptional experience, dedication, and a deep commitment to student success. Their leadership skills have been evident and I’m certain they will continue to strengthen our East End campuses and provide an outstanding learning environment for our students.”
Binz will replace Dr. Heather Williams, who was recently named Director of School Support and Leadership for the upcoming school year. Binz joined the district in 2023 as principal at EEI. Teague joined the district in 2015.
