School Administration

Bobby Godwin, Principal

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year! 

My name is Bobby Godwin, and I am excited to be the new principal at Elizabethtown Middle School. I have been dedicated to education for 15 years, beginning as a business teacher for the first nine years of my career and then serving as an assistant principal and athletic director for the past six years.

As principal of EMS, I look forward to working with our community and families to ensure our students receive the support they need to succeed. I believe that by establishing a collaborative environment where the efforts of our teachers and staff are combined with community and family involvement, we will see significant academic growth.

While I have only been in this role a short while, I’ve already had the pleasure of meeting many of the merchants and community members. This is a community that takes pride in its school and its history, and together we have the opportunity to help our students be successful.

I am excited to work with Bladen County Schools, the Elizabethtown Middle School community, and look forward to a successful school year. Go Cougars!
