    Welcome to Mr. Newsome's Home Page

    Welcome to my home page!  I teach Intermediate Art (2) and Proficient/Advanced Art 3/4 in room 905. I am also the Girl's Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field Coach.

    About me.This is my 21st year teaching. I have four children (3 girls and 1 boy). My wife Amy also teaches at West in the Family and Consumer Science department so say "Hi" when you see her. I graduated from West Forsyth in 1989. I attended East Carolina University for undergrad and Gardner-Webb for my master's. I am very proud of West Forsyth and all the people and students associated with it. I truly love working here and look forward to each day.
