After nearly five years on the job, Gibraltar Secondary School Principal Jim DeBroux is moving on. The Ripon Press reported Monday that DeBroux has been recommended for the Ripon High School principal post, paving the way for his likely approval at the Ripon School Board meeting March 16.

DeBroux was one of 18 candidates who applied for the position and one of three finalists for the job.

“I am truly excited for the opportunity to serve as the next principal of Ripon High School,” DeBroux told the Ripon Press. “The time I spent in the district during the interview process only strengthened my hope to become part of this school and community, and I look forward to partnering with students, staff and families to help every student excel.”

DeBroux’s resignation from his job at Gibraltar was unanimously approved by the Gibraltar Area School Board during its meeting last month. DeBroux joined the staff at Gibraltar after more than 20 years at Random Lake High School.
