SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH —Eric Juli has been named the next principal of Shaker Heights High School.

The district announced Juli's hiring on Friday. Juli was plucked from a field of 75 candidates. He signed a two-year contract with annual salary of $134,981.

“I am humbled and honored to be selected as the next principal of Shaker Heights High School,” Juli said. “I love this community. As a Shaker parent and now as a Shaker principal, I am invested in the success of all our students. I look forward to building relationships across our community as we work together to address student equity, improve student learning, and prepare all students for their futures in our rapidly changing world.”

Prior to arriving in Cleveland, Juli worked for the Lawrence (Massachusetts) Public Schools, serving in a variety of administrative capacities.

Over the next weeks, Julie will work with interim Principal David Glasner on a high school-leadership transition plan for the 2019-2020 school year.
