I look forward to welcoming everyone to the 2024-2025 school year at North Augusta Middle School!

I am honored to be the principal here at NAMS and I am excited for the opportunity to invest in and celebrate your student's growths and achievements! This is my tenth year at NAMS (four years as the assistant principal and six years as principal). I treasure the atmosphere of family and community that we have here and we want you to feel just as welcome every time you and your student walk through the door.

Our mission here at NAMS is to provide a safe and cooperative environment for each student and to foster and develop world-class knowledge and skills. We will work to ensure our students share in the responsibility of their learning and we will cultivate the skills necessary for them to be life-long learners.

Greetings, NAMS' students and parents.  It is with great joy that I introduce myself, Sylvia Gay, one of the administrators serving you for the 2024-2025 school year. 

As a product of Aiken County Public Schools , I attended Gloverville Elementary, Jefferson Junior High, Leavelle McCambell Middle School, and Midland Valley High School. [Ooopppsss, I'm telling my age ;) ]  After graduating from MVHS, I became a PACER, graduating from USC-Aiken with a Bachelor in Elementary Education.  

The next chapter of my life included teaching middle level science for 7 years at PKMS.  While teaching science, I pursued a Master of Education in Leadership and a Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.   For the next 15 years, I served as an Assistant Principal at ACPS.  

During my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. My grandbabies are the loves of my life. I also enjoy traveling to various casinos.  My favorite food is Chick-fil-A and my favorite candies are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Demet's Turtles.

It is my mission to ensure every student receives a quality education.   I look forward to partnering with every student, teacher, parent, and community member to ensure every student is successful and a life-long learner.

Mr. Dan Osborne

Hello! My name is Dan Osborne. I will be an Assistant Principal here at North Augusta Middle School this year. I spent the last three years as Assistant Principal at North Aiken Elementary. I am very excited to begin this school year here at NAMS. Before I was an AP, I taught Physical Education at Redcliffe Elementary. During this time, I coached baseball and football at Silver Bluff High School and most recently football at Kennedy Middle School.  

I graduated from University of South Carolina - Aiken in 1997 and in 2020 from Southern Wesleyan University in 2020 with my master's in education. I have been in education for 26 years. My wife, Mistie teaches first grade at Aiken Elementary. I have a daughter Maddie who attends the University of South Carolina - Beaufort and a son Kolby who will be a senior at South Aiken. 

I am excited about this school year and I look forward to getting to know all of you!
