Maybeury's fourth principal, Ronald W. Odom, came in July, 1986. He served as principal of Jackson Davis Elementary before coming to Maybeury. Mrs. Robin T. Exton, the fifth principal, came to Maybeury in 1997 after serving as principal of Three Chopt Elementary School. She left in 2004 and was replaced by Mr. Eric Armbruster, who is our current principal.
Maybeury Elementary School will mark its 50th year of existence during the 2007-2008 school year. It has a long history of providing outstanding education and a nurturing environment.
