Eastbury Principal Nancy Bean to Become Glastonbury High Principal

principal Nancy Bean will take former principal Matthew Dunbar’s place at starting soon, after she was selected from a field of 15 applicants earlier this week.

Bean, who had been principal at Eastbury since 2010, will begin her position soon according to Superintendent Dr. Alan Bookman.

Bean began teaching in Weston as both an elementary and middle school health and physical education teacher, then moved on to Hall High School and Whiting Lane School in West Hartford. In 2006 she became assistant principal at Canton High School, before coming to Eastbury in 2010.
