Flagler College President Joe Joyner Reflects on Transition to New Position

At this time last year, Joe Joyner was in a kind of limbo — not a negative limbo, mind you, more like a crossroads.  In January 2017, the longtime Superintendent of St. Johns County Schools was still straddling two worlds. Joyner had already given the district notice that he would be retiring after 13 years at the top post, clearing a path for Tim Forson, then deputy superintendent for operations, to be promoted.  And while Joyner had already been selected to succeed William Abare as the next president of Flagler College, it would be another seven months before he would officially move into the president’s executive suite in Ponce de Leon Hall.
