Ramapo High School Principal Resigning After 9 Years

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. - Dr. Louis Moore will step down as principal of Ramapo High School later on this academic year, Superintendent Beverly MacKay confirmed.

Moore has been principal of the high school for almost nine years. He accepted the superintendent's position of the Red Bank Regional High School District. He starts with that district July 1. Moore's annual salary at the new position will be $147,500.

"Lou has served as a wonderful instructional leader for our school community," MacKay said. "He has brought consistency to a building that had a number of turnovers in prior years."

Moore instituted the Freshman Transitions program and was instrumental in starting the district's wellness initiative, MacKay said.

Dan Sutherland, director of curriculum, instruction, and articulation, will lead the search committee to find someone to take over the position. The committee will consist of administrators, teachers, and curriculum supervisors.

MacKay said she is hopeful the committee will present a candidate for approval at the Board of Education's June 27 meeting.

Applicants have until May 6 to apply for the job.
