North Hills Likely To Extend School Superintendent's Contract

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA - North Hills School District superintendent Patrick Mannarino's contract expires next year, but school directors are working on a five-year contract extension that would take effect in July 2021.

The school board is expected to finalize the extension as soon as Mannarino begins the final year of his current pact.

“Dr. Mannarino is an amazing asset to North Hills and a very visible and active superintendent. Anyone who spends even a few minutes with him can see his passion and commitment to this district and how much he cares about our students,” board president Allison Mathis said in a district release. “I’m pleased that with the unanimous support of this board we have reached a tentative agreement to extend his contract upon its expiration and secure his future in North Hills.”

Mannarino was elevated to superintendent in 2012 after serving two years as assistant superintendent. Before joining the central administrative staff, he served as principal of North Hills Senior High School for four years. He began his North Hills tenure in 2002 as an assistant principal and was promoted to associate principal in 2005.

“North Hills is my home,” he said in a prepared statement. “I’m so proud of what we’ve built and thrilled to continue the greatness that we have established in this district.”
