Administration Team

Mr. Mike Drye - Principal

My name is Mike Drye, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to lead Concord Middle School in an interim capacity as they work through the process to identify the next “permanent” principal.  I plan to be at CMS through the end of the 2024-25 school year. 

I’m in my 36^th year of education, and have approximately 8 years in teaching, with the rest in administration.  I’ve held principalships at the elementary, middle, and high school level.  Although I retired in 2019, the lure of teaching and the need for educators keeps calling me back.  In Cabarrus I’ve held interim assignments at Cox Mill High School, C.C Griffin Middle, Wolf Meadow Elementary, Royal Oaks, and now at CMS. 

I look forward to meeting as many members of the CMS community as possible during this time.  Please let me know how I may be of service.  Go Miners!

Hello,

My name is Eddy Bui and I am very excited to join the Concord Middle School family as the 8th Grade Administrator. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from the University of Maine and Master’s in Educational Administration from the University of South Carolina. After 11 years of teaching and coaching in New Hampshire and South Carolina, I transitioned to administration as an Assistant Principal the last five years. Outside of school, I enjoy anything relating to history, sports, and traveling with my wonderful wife, Alicia.

In addition to being the 8th Grade Administrator, I will also manage Transportation and Safety. I look forward to having a great year together with each of you! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me at Edward.Bui@cabarrus.k12.nc.us or school phone at 704-260-6430.

Thank you and Go Miners!

I am proud to be a part of the Concord Middle School Miner Family as an Assistant Principal. With over a decade of experience in education, I began my teaching career at Irvin Elementary, where I served for four years. For the past six years, I have been in leadership roles as an assistant principal at CC Griffin and JN Fries.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  I also received my Masters in School Administration as a participant in the Principal Fellows Program at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  

Outside of school, I enjoy time with my husband and three daughters. We enjoy traveling, exploring new destinations, and staying active through their love of sports.

Miner Family! I am beyond excited to have joined Concord Middle School.  Middle school is my passion, and I cannot wait to learn and grow together with you.  Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Before joining the miner family, I worked in the technology division of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for several years.  However, I previously taught science at Harold E. Winkler and Jay M. Robinson schools here in Concord and I am happy to be back home.

I am originally from Gastonia and most of my family is still there. Fishing, bowling, video games, traveling, and trying new restaurants are some of my top hobbies.  I received a Bachelor’s degree in middle grades education from Western Carolina University “GO CATS!” and completed two graduate programs from the University of North Carolina Charlotte in Technology and School Administration.  Thank you for accepting me into your family and let’s have a great year!
