Veteran educator returns to Duplin

KENANSVILLE – Duplin County Schools is welcoming back a familiar face to its leadership team. Last week the Board of Education announced the board approved Superintendent Daren Tyndall’s recommendation to appoint Felicia Brown as Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources.

Brown, a longtime educator and leader, brings nearly three decades of experience in public education, including a decade of service in Duplin County Schools. She most recently served as Director of Human Resources for Wayne County Public Schools, where she led strategic initiatives to support recruitment, retention, and professional development.

According to Duplin County Schools officials, before her tenure in Wayne County, Brown held multiple leadership positions within Duplin County Schools from 2007 to 2017, including principal, executive director of human resources, chief officer, and assistant superintendent for human resources and leadership development. Her leadership at Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary School and Duplin Early College High School left a lasting mark on both students and staff.

“Brown is an experienced leader who understands our district’s values and dedication to serving students, staff, and families,” said Superintendent Daren Tyndall. “We are thrilled to welcome her back to Duplin County Schools. Her deep understanding of our culture, combined with her proven expertise in human resources, will be invaluable as we continue to grow and strengthen our district team.”

Brown will assume her new role following her transition from Wayne County Public Schools.
