Hatboro-Horsham Schools Names New Superintendent

HORSHAM, PA — The Hatboro-Horsham School District will soon have a new superintendent.

The district's board of directors announced Monday that Scott Eveslage, currently the assistant superintendent of Lower Merion School District, has been named the lone finalist for the job.

The board will officially vote on Eveslage's appointment on Monday, May 4, and he is expected to begin work July 1.

Beginning early this year, the district received 31 applications for the position being vacated by current Superintendent Curtis Griffin, who is retiring. The board selected eight candidates to interview, then narrowed the field to three finalists.

"Dr. Eveslage really stood out to us," said school board President Jennifer Wilson. "In addition to his impressive background, his vision was completely aligned with ours and the priorities shared by our community. These included creating a culture of trust, ensuring student equity and fostering academic achievement among all students."

During his 27-year career, Eveslage has worked as a special education teacher, a coach, athletic director and principal. In his role at Lower Merion, he leads all aspects of curriculum and instruction, professional learning and academic leadership and chairs the district's equity, access and opportunity initiatives.

Evesage holds a doctoral degree in K-12 Educational Leadership from Seton Hall University and a Master of Education degree in curriculum, instruction and technology and a bachelor's degree in sociology from Temple University.

He lives in Willow Grove with his wife, Lena, and two children, ages 19 and 15.
