We have created a webpage to keep the community updated on the Principal search process. It includes an overview of the process, timelines, and a link to a form through which parents, guardians, and community members may submit their insights on the qualities, characteristics, skills, and communication style you would like to see in the Principal for your child's school.

Elementary Principal Search
We have completed the screening process of 87 applicants for the elementary principal searches. On Wednesday, March 26th, a panel of Glenwood, Hartshorn, and Deerfield teachers participated in the interview committee for internal candidates who applied for an elementary principal position. On Friday, March 28, administrators interviewed external candidates who had been narrowed down through our paper screening process. On April 1st, a committee of teachers, staff, and administrators from SMS, GLW, HART, and DF will interview the top seven candidates (including internal and external). All the candidates we interviewed are highly qualified, caring, and enthusiastic educational leaders looking for career advancement and opportunities in Millburn. After we hold these interviews on Tuesday, should there be an extended need to interview candidates further to find the best candidates for our schools, we will do that. It is anticipated that the process will conclude by April 7, 2025.

To maintain consistency with the Middle School's leadership, Dr. Sack will continue as the interim principal for the remainder of the school year and next year. We will open the search again for a permanent principal during the next school year.
