David Spage will not be principal of Potomac Falls High School much longer. Dr. Hatrick released the information to administrators yesterday afternoon in an email, this morning I saw a student had posted the news on Facebook.
Mr. Spage isn't going far though. He has accepted the position of Director of High School Education at LCPS, so he'll be the man supervising our twelve high school principals, and will play a role in selecting his successor at Potomac Falls.
PFHS has lost two other great administrators in the past two years to more senior LCPS positions. Chad Runfola is now Principal of J.L. Simpson Middle School, and John Duellman (Virginia's 2009 Asst. Principal of the Year) has just taken up the reins at Mercer Middle School.
While I know that PFHS has a strong team at every level and was never dependent on any one of these men, I can't help but be apprehensive at the loss of so much experience in such a short time. I'll be watching closely as a new principal is selected and begins his or her tenure, ensuring that the community's input is heard in both stages. The new principal will be named by late August.
