Romona School Names Cindy Anderson Next Principal

A 13-year veteran District 39 teacher has been tabbed as the next principal of Romona School in Wilmette.

Cindy Anderson, currently the sixth grade Assistant Principal at Highcrest, will begin in her new role on July 1. She will replace Dr. Heather Glowacki, who is being promoted to District 39’s Administrator for Human Resources role.

“I am very pleased to promote Cindy into this important position,” said Dr. Raymond Lechner, District 39 superintendent. “Throughout her time in District 39, she has demonstrated her strong leadership skills as she successfully oversees Highcrest’s sixth grade. I look forward to her continued contributions to the District and the community.”

Anderson first joined District 39 in 2002 as a sixth grade math and science teacher. She taught accelerated math starting in 2005, and in 2012 became the sixth grade Assistant Principal at Highcrest.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree in education and social policy from Northwestern University.
