School District Two Announces Interim Principal for Highland Park

The Board of Trustees for Sheridan County School District Two approved Molly Swan as interim Highland Park Elementary School principal. The action came at the Board’s most recent meeting on June 14. Swan will begin her new role as interim principal early next month. According to a District Two media release,  Swan’s career in education spans a total of 29 years, including ten years teaching in Natrona County School District No. 1; nine years teaching in Sheridan County School District No. 1; and ten years with Sheridan County School District No. 2. Swan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Carroll College, a Masters degree in Education and K-12 Reading Endorsement from Chadron State College, and a principal endorsement from the University of Wyoming.

Through the course of her career, Swan has taught students from Pre-K through 6th grade in several settings, including the regular classroom, special education, and reading intervention. She has served in an administrative capacity with Even Start and worked as an instructional coach for K-12 teachers in SCSD1. Most recently, Swan has worked for six years as a Reading Recovery teacher at Highland Park. Swan’s principal appointment comes with the interim label due her late hire in June. District Two Superintendent Scott Stults said when we hire administrators during the summer, it is standard practice for the district to appoint them as interim leaders, and then take the opportunity to re-evaluate the position the following spring.
