Village School Principal Amanda Murphy is one of three finalists for a principal position at the Great Oak Elementary School in Danvers, she announced in an email to the Village School community Monday morning.
Danvers is hoping to pick Great Oak’s next principal by the end of this week or the beginning of next, Janet Ingraham, the executive assistant to Superintendent Dan Bauer told the Current.
Murphy said she just wanted to give the community a “heads up” about her possible departure.
“While this is a great opportunity for me, I am also lucky to have such a community that I would enjoy continuing to work in,” she wrote. “If I am the successful candidate, I will miss all of you and our years together as we Keep Each Other Well. If not selected, I assure you that I am lucky to continue the great collaboration we have here at Village School.”
Murphy said there would be two more rounds of interviews in the hiring process on Monday afternoon and Tuesday, involving school staff and parents.
Bauer served as principal of Marblehead High School until the Danvers School Committee made him the unanimous choice to succeed retiring Superintendent Lisa Dana last year.
