District names new technology supervisor

The Cheatham County School District has named Chad Smith as its new technology supervisor.

Smith, who has worked in the technology department for nine years, will begin his new duties on May 1.

He will replace Will Lockert, who is taking a job in the private sector. Lockert has been with the district for about 19 years and his last day is April 28.

Originally from Louisiana, Smith has lived for 24 years in the Middle Tennessee area, where he and his wife, Tara, have raised three children, Dylan, McKinley and Addison. He also serves as the associate worship leader at 24 Church in Pleasant View.

Smith said he’s looking forward to continuing serving the district in his new role, and this quote from his dad, Larry Smith, will help guide him: “Stay humble and never forget where you come from.”
