4 New Directors Joining Hatboro-Horsham School Board

HATBORO-HORSHAM, PA — When the Hatboro-Horsham School District reorganizes, its nine-member board will see several new faces.

School Board President Jennifer Wilson was re-elected during November's general election, but four incumbent school board members chose not to run.

Wilson joins holdovers Denise J. Schultz, Vice President David Brown, Treasurer Theresa Brown, and School Director Susan E. Hunsinger-Hoff.

Democrat Erin Stroup did not seek re-election. On the Republican party side, school directors Tara Conner-Hallston, Maggie Kistner, and Erin Whalen did not seek re-election. Whalen ran on the GOP ticket for Horsham Township Council but wasn't elected.

At their last meeting last month, Schools Superintendent Scott Eveslage lauded their service of four years on the board, with Conner-Hallston having served eight years.

Eveslage said the school directors made "meaningful and lasting contributions" to the school district and the community that will shape learning in Hatboro-Horsham for years to come.

Those vacancies opened up four new spots on the board, and the Democrats swept those seats in the November election.

Wilson was the top vote-getter. Democratic newcomers Ashley R. Pierson, Madison Peace, Katherine Kahn, and Robert Jarvis were elected by residents of Hatboro and Horsham.

They defeated Republicans Eric Grier, Anthony Spangler, Eric Tilghman, Jimmy Zuniga, and Bernie Sousa.

The school board was expected during Monday's meeting to appoint a president and vice president for the 2026 school yard.
