District selects four to interview for director position

By Megan Gildow | Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 08:47 PM

Four educators are interviewing for the chance to be Springfield High School’s first permanent campus director.

A finalist will likely be selected by the end of the month to take the reins at Springfield High for the 2009-10 school year, said Interim Superintendent Don Thompson, who is interviewing candidates with incoming Superintendent David Estrop.

“We have good quality candidates to pick from,” Thompson said. “It’s a matter of matching up skill sets to the job and continuing to research the candidates’ job performances.”

The four candidates are:

• James Schoenlein, principal of Kettering-Fairmont High School, in Kettering, a Dayton suburb.

• Christopher Shaffer, principal of Whetstone High School, Columbus City Schools.

• Stephen Heck, former executive director, Indiana Association of School Principals.

• Larry Gray, principal of Willow Run Middle/High School in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
