First-year principals like Sturgeon Bay High School’s Keith Nerby thanks his staff and you for ensuring a smooth transition. Nerby, Gibraltar’s Jim DeBroux and Lisa Wing, and Kewaunee’s Brian Annen were among the new principals leading schools in Door and Kewaunee counties for the 2021/2022 school year.  Navigating the pandemic is one thing, but doing it with another school can be even more challenging. Nerby credits the staff for helping him get adjusted as well as all the great work they have done for the school’s students.

The 2022/2023 school year will also feature some new faces leading their schools. Last month, Washington Island School announced Tim Verboomen was hired for its open principal/curriculum director position. Gibraltar is expected to announce their new elementary school principal on May 9th while retaining Wing as its Director of Pupil Services. Southern Door School District is also in the process of hiring a new elementary school principal after Cory Vandertie announced his resignation last month.
