Farmington Appoints New Assistant School Chief

FARMINGTON, CT — With classes about to start for 2022-23 on Monday, Aug. 29, local school officials have filled a key administrative position this month.

In doing so, the Farmington Board of Education has also created changes in the high school leadership team in the process.

Farmington school board members unanimously voted to name Farmington High School Principal Scott Hurwitz as the Farmington School System's new assistant superintendent of finance and operations.

Prior to coming to Farmington as a school principal, first at the middle school level and, then, at the high school, Hurwitz was a teacher in Glastonbury.

"We think its an excellent appointment," said Farmington Board of Education Chairperson Elizabeth Fitzsimmons after the vote last week. "Although we are sad to see Scott Hurwitz leave the high school, he will be an excellent addition to central office."

Hurwitz's appointment will become official on Sept. 12.

Following the new central office appointment, school board members named Russ Crist as interim principal of Farmington High School and Felicia Poskus as interim assistant principal of Farmington High School.

All appointed on Aug. 16 were congratulated by school board members.
