Dr. Russell Dyer, Cleveland City Schools Director of Schools, said, “We had a fantastic interview pool and selection process for the next principal of CHS. Community input was invaluable throughout the process and helped me to think through who would be best to take our high school to the next level over the coming years. Mr. Pritchard is a consensus builder, knowledgeable regarding academics, and will work to build meaningful relationships between staff, students, and the local community.”

Ms. O’Bryan will continue to lead Cleveland High School through the end of June and Mr. Pritchard will take the helm starting on July 1.
