Seven Atlanta schools have new principals.
Atlanta Public Schools appointed three new leaders as well as four interim principals for the 2021-2022 year, which begins Thursday.
Superintendent Lisa Herring announced the positions at a Monday board meeting.
“A special congratulations and welcome to our new principals and interim principals as we start out this school year,” she said.
One of the schools to undergo a leadership change is the recently renovated David T. Howard Middle School.
