Only days before the school year started, former Social Studies Department Chair Brandon Keeling was promoted to the Dean of Students.

With the Department chair empty, Principal Dan Serrano interviewed several interested candidates for the sudden opening of the roll during the first week of school.

“Typically it’s a little bit different, but… you always post the job and then you interview your candidates… and that’s what I did, but it was a lot later than what I would have wanted,” he explained.

History teacher Jason Myers has been named Keeling’s replacement as Department Chair for this upcoming school year.

“This is something I am interested in, because I believe professionalism is important,” shared Myers. “and I want to help shape the way the history department is professionally.”
