New Principal Approved For Ellington's Windermere School

ELLINGTON, CT — The Ellington Board of Education has endorsed the appointment of a new Windermere School principal, Superintendent of Schools Scott Nichol said Thursday.

Jennifer Hill is scheduled to start at the school on July 1, he said.

Hill emerged from a search committee comprised of Board of Education members, teachers, parents, students and administrators. She visited Windermere and spent a half-day interacting with staff, students and parents and was interviewed by the Board of Education, he said.

Her tenure there included serving as a mathematics coach and interventionist at the elementary level. She holds a sixth-year in Educational Leadership from Sacred Heart University, a Masters in Mathematics from Central Connecticut State University and she completed her undergraduate work at Keene State College.
