Retired Morris Superintendent To Be Interim in Different NJ School District

Just seven months after retiring from his superintendent position in the Morris School District, Thomas Ficarra is stepping into the same role with a different district.

Ficarra is set to be named the interim superintendent in the Hamilton school district in Mercer County, according to nj.com.

Ficarra’s salary was more than $216,000 when he retired from the Morris School District in October 2014 after a dozen years in the position.

The Hamilton school district’s website says it plans to name an interim superintendent Wednesday night, and a meet and greet session will be held after the board’s regular meeting.

The Morris School District, after naming an interim last summer, recently hired Mackey Pendergrast full time to be the schools chief. Pendergrast has spent the last three years as the superintendent in the West Morris Regional High School District, overseeing both West Morris Mendham and West Morris Central high schools.
