Minooka HS District Officials Interviewing Principal Candidates

Four months after the resignation of Minooka Community High School Principal Darcie Kubinski, the search for new school leader is well under way.

Interim Superintendent Jim Blanche told WJOL that the pool of candidates has been narrowed to four finalists, who are being interviewed this week. Blanche was appointed to his role after the school board voted in May to terminate then-Superintendent James Colyott.

Blanche said once the list is down to two finalists, he and other district officials will travel to observe the candidates in their current jobs, WJOL reported.

He said he hopes to present a nominee to the school board at its Dec. 18 meeting.

Kubinski, who was hired in 2012, resigned in July.
