CONWAY — Kennett music maestro Therese Davison is passing her baton to a familiar face.
Noah Smith, who taught music this past year at the K.A. Brett School in Tamworth, and has been involved in the Kennett High Music Department for the past two years, was unanimously chosen by the Conway School Board to succeed Davison as the music instrument teacher at KHS on Monday night.
