Dear Hilltopper Community,
I regret to inform you that Mr. Douglas Murray submitted his resignation as Chardon High School Principal on February 9, 2024. Earlier today, I met with CHS staff to share this news and the message Mr. Murray wrote for the CHS community. He shared that he is resigning effective immediately for personal reasons that require his complete focus.
Mr. Murray served as an effective principal in the building for more than a decade. During his tenure, he was responsible for moving the school and district forward, establishing new programs and developing growth opportunities for students and staff.
We support Mr. Murray in his decision and wish him well in his future endeavors. He has asked that the community respect his family and privacy at this time, and we encourage you to support him in that as well.
The District is evaluating options to support the leadership team on an interim basis until a complete search can be completed and a new principal is appointed. We will provide an update when we have information to share in this regard.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Hanlon, Jr., Ph.D.
Superintendent
Chardon Local Schools
