Mr. Pitman has been principal there for 2 years, and an administrator in the system for 4 according to Superintendent Mark Davidson.

The division advertises nationwide for the positions.

Davidson says there will be a number of candidates within the city who apply and all over the county as well.

He says hiring a principal is an important task to get right.

“School administration is a really challenging role, you realize once you become the principal of a school how many things you feel really responsible for and the level of ownership you take for making sure that things go well and that people feel cared for. It’s a big job, but having done it for a while, it’s probably one of the most rewarding jobs that you can have too,” Davidson said.

The application deadline is February 23.

Both positions will start at the beginning of the 2021/22 school year.
