Franklin Area School District superintendent Dr. Eugene Thomas said Tuesday that he is confident that "we have all the right people in the right positions."
The school board met on Monday to approve naming KC Miller and Tom Holoman as Franklin High School's new co-principals. Thomas said they posted the position and the decision came down to the qualified personnel already in the Franklin family. "Sometimes it is better to look internally," he said adding that the talent in the school district was very good and that the co-principal model was a good fit for the high school.
Franklin Principal Christina Cohlhepp recently moved to the position of Curriculum Director for the district, a position that had be vacant for years after Ann Black left the position.
Miller has been the Victory Elementary School principal since 2020 and Holoman has been the Sandycreek principal since 2019. Holoman also recently filled in as interim superintendent beforre Thomas was named the new permanent superintendent this spring.
Thomas said that they were able to handle all staffing internally which ultimately ended up saving the district $20,000 in the process.
Franklin Junior high principal John Bianconi was moved to become the principal of Victory Elementary School.
Former Franklin dean of students Joe Keenan had left his position to return to teaching, but was promoted to principal at Sandycreek Elementary School.
Gary Canfora remains the principal at Central.
Also Denise Phipps was named the Director of Student Support Services.
"We're excited for the new school year," Thomas said. "We have high expectations."
