Some new faces, and some shifts of current staff into new roles.

Summit Hill School District 161 is welcoming the following new administrators: John Snipes, Arbury Hills Principal; Frances Boss, Rogus Assistant Principal; and Laura Goebel, Walker Assistant Principal. Also, three current administrators have leadership roles in new buildings: Dana Wright will serve as Principal at Indian Trail School. Dan Pierson will serve as Principal at Walker School.

The leadership changes are part of the District’s continuing effort to grow its own leaders and offer additional experiences for interested administrators. At the District Administrative Center, there also is a full lineup of content specialists to serve the school community: Kathy Klein as curriculum director, Dean Gerdes as finance director, and Bridget Nolan as special education director.
Summit Hill School District 161 serves students and their families living in portions of Mokena, Tinley Park, and Frankfort.
