Chris Wynne from MLK was appointed as principal at Cedar Grove, and Greg Mullenholz from Ashburton was appointed as a director of school support and well-being.

That is a well-deserved promotion for Mullenholz after leading 900+ student Ashburton through the pandemic years.

The county is really hungry for Hispanic leadership, so not that surprising.

He's an interesting profile. Started as a parapro, then worked as a classroom teacher for several years, then entered administration.

At its best, this kind of profile that would make someone a really good administrator because he's done a bunch of jobs within public education. I'll be interested to seee how it works out.
