Manchester Schools Name Mazur As Ridgeway Principal

Parents and students have been invited to Ridgeway Elementary School this Wednesday, Oct. 7, for a meet-and-greet session with Nikki Mazur, the new principal at the school, according to a news release from the district.

Mazur’s promotion to principal was approved by the Manchester Township Board of Education at a special meeting Sept. 28, the release said. She had been the district’s elementary curriculum coordinator.

Mazur replaces Diane Pedroza, who has been promoted to the district’s director of curriculum.

“Nikki Mazur has served the Manchester Township School District in many different roles over the past 15 years,” Superintendent of Schools David Trethaway said in the news release. “Mrs. Mazur has been an elementary classroom teacher, a middle school language arts teacher, elementary school vice principal and elementary curriculum coordinator. She has also been active in numerous committees and has assumed leadership in the area of professional development.

“In each of these roles, Mrs. Mazur has excelled and is well respected among staff and colleagues,” Trethaway said.

Mazur has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from Georgian Court University as well as an educational leadership degree from Kean University.

“I am so honored to be part of the Ridgeway family and I could not be happier to serve our school community as a Dolphin,” she said. “I am looking forward to working with our parents, students, and staff.”

The meet and greet is scheduled for 6-7:30 p.m. in the Ridgeway School Media Center.
