Today, Principal John Williams said he will announce his decision regarding the replacement of departing Assistant Principal Kerry Hoffman, whose responsibilities include coordinating the IB program and working on curriculum. Williams said he will make the announcement during the Coffee with the Principal event for teachers and staff throughout the day.
According to Hoffman, tomorrow will be her last day. “Carmel is a very special place,” she said. “I’m sure my time here will serve me well in the future.”
She leaves to become the director of professional services for Muncie Community Schools, which is a district-level position. “Timing wasn’t ideal, but professionally it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” Hoffman said.
Junior Alicia Graham said the additional administration change could have a negative effect. “(The IB program) might not be as strong,” Graham said. She also said that new administrators sometimes mean more strict rules.
This departure is the fourth administrative change this calendar year. Despite all the change, Williams said the change so far between the three old and new administrators has gone very smoothly. He said, “We were fortunate to bring in three outstanding young administrators, and I couldn not be happier with the transition.”
Regarding the newest departing administrator, Williams said, “It’s a bittersweet feeling. We’ve been very fortunate to have someone like (Hoffman) working in our programs with our kids. She’s done a wonderful job, and we will miss her as an administrator, a colleague, and a friend. At the same time, I’m very excited for her and her new opportunity.”
