Southern High Gets a New Principal

The Southern Bulldogs are set to get a new principal before the start of the new school year, according to Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS).

Marc Procaccini, previously an assistant principal at Old Mill High, was named as the new principal at Southern High in a press release. He is one of 15 administrators assigned to new schools for 2012-2013. Procaccini is set to replace Patricia Plitt as principal at Southern.

At schools in Shady Side and Cape St. Claire, new principals haven’t been announced yet. Nine of the 17 total schools getting new administrators will have first-time principals when schools open in August.

Superintendent Kevin Maxwell transferred six principals to different schools altogether.

“I believe these changes make us better as an overall system as we continue along our journey to greatness,” Maxwell said in a press release. “I am excited about the talented group of new principals who have been promoted and am confident that those principals who are changing locations will be great asset s to the new communities which they will now serve.”

Official changes reportedly take effect on June 27, and more information can be found at the school system’s website at www.aacps.org.
