Throughout his time as a student and a professional, V. Douglas Joyner '82, '09 has held the Winchester community close to his heart. After attending John Handley High School, Joyner transitioned to Shenandoah, graduating in 1982 with degrees in music education and history. Fortunately, he was able to teach in both academic areas during his 10-year teaching career, where he taught in the City of Winchester and in the Clarke, Frederick, Warren and Culpeper County school systems. After many years of teaching, Joyner moved into administrative leadership, where he has spent the past 20 years. From 2000-2012, Joyner was the principal of his alma mater, Handley. His passion for education and dedication to the community helped him become a very successful principal. He also directed Handley's $72-million renovation. Professionally, Joyner was honored when Newsweek and the Washington Post added Handley High School to its list of top high schools. He takes pride in passing along traditions and thinking about those he serves—the students and community. Joyner retired as the principal of Handley in 2012. He is now the coordinator of curriculum and instruction and the federal programs coordinator for Winchester Public Schools.
