Christian Suttle, who was a teacher, coach and assistant principal at Walton High School in East Cobb, has been named the deputy superintendent of the Bartow County School System.
According to an announcement made by Bartow schools, he will begin his duties in June.
Suttle succeeds former Wheeler High School principal David Chiprany, who is retiring.
Suttle currently is an assistant superintendent for the Cobb County School District, overseeing the administration of several high schools, including all six in East Cobb—Kell, Lassiter, Pope, Sprayberry, Walton and Wheeler.
He also was the principal at Hillgrove High School in West Cobb and has 24 years of experience as an educator.
During his tenure at Walton, Suttle was a teacher, and coached football and track and field before becoming athletics director and an assistant principal.
The Bartow announcement said Suttle will be responsible for student learning, achievement and academic support programs. The district has nearly 14,000 students.
“I am ready for this new adventure,” Suttle said in the Bartow announcement. “You will soon see me in your school community and beyond, collaborating with our business and faith-based communities to further strengthen the academic foundation and provide world-class opportunities for our children.”
Chiprany left Cobb for Bartow in 2018, serving as chief academic officer for a year before becoming that district’s first deputy superintendent. He has been a professional educator for 30 years.
Suttle graduated from high school in Birmingham, Ala., in 1993 and attended Kentucky State College and Miles College, also in Birmingham, where he played football and earned a degree in elementary education.
Suttle is a member of the Miles College Sports Hall of Fame. He lives in Dallas, Ga., with his wife Cappie, and their children Tatiana, Brennen, Mason, Connor and Grant.
