New Spout Springs Elementary principal Jared Belew takes a peek at Carson Youngblood, right, and Maddax Sutulovich's work Monday, Aug. 20, 2018. Belew takes over the position following the retirement of Arlene Thomas.
Jared Belew, the new principal of Spout Springs Elementary School in South Hall, has an admitted baby face. “I do get that a lot,” he said. But as Belew grows older — he’s 40 now — the young look is becoming something of an advantage. He’s no longer “having to work against” it, he said.
