Ross coached girls basketball, softball, track, tennis and volleyball at Tarboro High, leading the school to the state 2-A girls basketball final in 1990.

She has been in athletic administration for the past seven years at Columbus (Ohio) Briggs High.

"She has a lot of the qualities and leadership traits we had to have ... for an individual coming mid-year into a position," Carrboro principal Jeff Thomas said.

"She's very articulate. She's very experienced and she's from North Carolina, so she's familiar with the area. ... She's very much what we needed right now."
