Council Rock Appoints New Richboro Elementary School Principal

RICHBORO, PA — The Council Rock School Board at its September meeting voted unanimously to approve the appointment of Gina Booth as the new principal of the Richboro Elementary School.

Booth replaces Daneyelle Jordan who has served as the school's principal since 2015. Jordan is leaving the district "to pursue other challenges," said Superintendent Dr. Andy Sanko. "And we would like to wish Dr. Jordan well and thank her for her long service to our children."

According to Dr. Sanko, through a rigorous process that included five rounds of interviews, Booth emerged as the unanimous choice to fill the position.

A 29-year-employee of the Council Rock School District and a lifelong Council Rock resident, Booth was a classroom teacher for 16 years and most recently served as the instructional facilitator at Hillcrest Elementary School.

Booth has directed the district's Nights for Knowledge and Summer Academy programs. She holds a bachelor's degree from Temple University and a Master's degree and teaching certification from Holy Family University.

"We are confident that the Richboro Elementary School community will be in the best of hands as Gina continues in this leadership position," said Sanko.

Booth said in her new position as principal, she would continue to build on Richboro's "strong sense of community and history. I'm also excited to bring my mentoring, my coaching to the staff there, to help bring meaningful moments of learning for our students so they too can become lifelong learners."
