The Haddonfield Middle School will have a new principal for 2011–2012. Current Tatem Elementary School Principal Gino Priolo was tabbed as the successor for Dr. Noah Tennant at the middle school, the board of education revealed last week.
Tennant will be leaving his position as principal of Haddonfield Middle School to lead a charter school in Philadelphia.
Superintendent Richard Perry said members of the Haddonfield Board of Education accepted his resignation last week. Tennant has already sent out a letter informing parents of middle school students about his decision to leave.
Priolo is a fantastic administrator and will have the added benefit of knowing many of the students from Tatem Elementary who will be attending the middle school next year.
“I think he’s going to do a fantastic job there. One third of the students there already have had him as principal at Tatem,” Perry said. “He’s well known in the Tatem community as well as throughout the Haddonfield district.”
Taking his position as principal of Tatem will be Karen Schultz, a current teacher at Elizabeth Haddon Elementary School.
“She’s been a teacher leaders, has worked on many initiatives district wide, and is one of the leaders of the professional development committee,” Perry said. “She has a fantastic reputation among the community, parents, and students. She is fully qualified for the position.”
