Here are some fun facts about our new principals. Many should be familiar names since 21 are from within Jeffco. The other two come to us from Douglas County Public Schools and Aurora Public Schools. All are experienced educators, with either principal or assistant principal experience. Speaking of assistant principals, nine have been promoted to a principalship and two are taking the reins at their current schools. Six aren’t exactly new since they have served as the interim principal for the past year. They’ve done such a great job that they will now permanently take on the role.
Thank you to the principals who are leaving or retiring for all you’ve done for our students. Best wishes to all the new principals and a great 2017-18 school year! See the full list of new principals and their schools below.
