DE PERE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Unified School District of De Pere announced its interim superintendent.
The school board appointed current Foxview Intermediate School principal Andy Bradford to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Superintendent Christopher Thompson.
Thompson announced late April he was stepping down due to health concerns.
Bradford has held the principal position since 2008. During his tenure, Foxview received the prestigious National Blue Ribbon School designation for academic excellence. Previously, he was Foxview’s assistant principal. He has also served as a classroom teacher and coach. Bradford has a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Cardinal Stritch University, and is on track to complete the Education Specialist/Superintendent master’s degree program at UW-Superior later this year.
“I’m humbled and honored for the opportunity to help maintain and continuously improve the mission of our highly successful school district,” said Bradford. “De Pere is well-regarded as a result of the hard work of our staff, our leadership team, our students and our community from whom we receive so much support. I take the responsibility of upholding that tradition very seriously.”
The school board did not set a specific end date for the interim position.
