Assistant Principals

April Busby

I’m thrilled to join this amazing community as we begin another exciting school year! With over 20 years in education, my journey has taken me through early childhood and middle school education, special education, and gifted education, as well as serving as an Instructional Coach. Each experience has deepened my passion for supporting students and teachers at every level. I’m honored to be part of the Hendricks family and look forward to a fantastic year of learning, growth, and collaboration.

Go Hawks!

I’m thrilled to join NEST as your Assistant Principal! With 21 years in education, I’ve served in elementary, middle, and high schools, most recently as an Instructional Coach supporting a wide community of educators, students, and families. I’m passionate about building strong relationships through transparency, trust, and collaboration—creating a foundation for a thriving school community. My husband and I have three children in Forsyth County Schools, and on weekends, we’re cheering them on at cross-country and sports events. I look forward to learning, growing, and working together for our students' success!
