The Hermantown Community Schools Board of Education voted in early February to hire Wayne Whitwam, a principal from Centerville Elementary School, as the district’s new superintendent.
“After careful consideration and with input from our community, staff and administration, we believe Mr. Whitwam has the depth of knowledge needed to lead our district into the future,” said Dianne Mathews, Board Chair, during a television interview with Fox 21.
The School Board then approved Whitwam’s contract at the following school board meeting on Monday, February 10. Whitwam’s tentative start date in his new role will be July 1.
