The Board of School Committee last night approved Richard Dichard as the new principal of West High School. He will assume that role immediately.
“I had six great
years at West,” said Dichard. “To become principal there is like going back
home.”
Superintendent Debra
Livingston praised Dichard’s leadership and commitment to making students the
highest priority.
“Rick has always
impressed me with his concern and care of our children and their education,”
said Dr. Livingston. “I know he will be successful continuing the traditions and
achievements of West High School.”
While he will deeply
miss the students and staff at Central, he wants the West community to know
that he’s excited for the opportunity to stay in his new position for years to
come.
“My intention is to
be their principal for as long as they will have me,” he said.
Dichard succeeds Chris
Motika, who was principal since 2013 and resigned last month to take a position
outside the district.
