Elementary/Middle School Principal Hiring Survey

At the conclusion of this school year, after many years of dedicated service to the school district, Mrs. Sullivan will be retiring from her positions as Elementary School Principal and District Administrator. The administrative structure will be adjusted with Mr. Cronan continuing as the High School Principal and assuming the duties as District Administrator. As a result, the school district is looking to hire an Elementary School/Middle School Principal. Parent and community input into this process is vital. In order to gather that input, a survey has been developed and is available online at:

This survey will only take a few moments to complete, but will provide the school district valuable information as we move forward in the hiring process. Thank you in advance for your time completing this survey.
