Souhegan Appoints New Principal, Dean of Students

The Souhegan Cooperative School Board and Superintendent Peter Warburton announced Monday the appointment of Rob Scully as the Souhegan High 
School Principal, and the appointment of Peter Gagnon as Dean of Students. Both Scully and Gagnon have been filling these roles on an interim basis since being appointed in July and August, respectively. 

As a member of the Souhegan High School community for the past 14 years, Scully has been a respected member of the faculty as a ninth-grade English teacher, as an athletic coach and an advisor. He was also an active member of Community Council, Personnel Policy Committee and grade nine Team Captain. He served as Dean of Students during the 2012-13 school year, before being appointed to the interim principal position. 

Gagnon began his career as a biology teacher at Timberlane High School in Plaistow. 

Before joining Souhegan as interim dean of students in August, he was at Bedford High School serving as the coordinator of the International Baccalaureate 
Programme.

Superintendent Peter Warburton was very pleased with the Board nominations.

"Given what I have seen over past few months, both Rob and Peter are strong and trusted additions to our leadership team, and I personally look forward to working with them."

Mary Lou Mullens, chairwoman of the Souhegan Cooperative School Board, added, “The Board received overwhelmingly positive feedback from staff, fellow administrators, parents and community members on the performance of both Rob and Peter in these interim roles.”

The board voted on these appointments at its December meeting.
