7–12 Principal

Due to professional advancement, Hershey Public Schools is seeking a strong and student-centered leader to serve as our 7–12 Principal.

If you are a leader who believes in empowering students, investing in people, and building a culture where everyone can thrive; we invite you to consider becoming part of the Hershey Panther community.

Hershey Public Schools is guided by our mission:
“Empowering All Students To Reach Their Full Potential.”

We are proud to be a Cognia Accredited School and were recently named an “Excellent” district through Nebraska’s AQuESTT system.

This investment has provided outstanding, updated facilities that enhance learning, activities, and student opportunities. Our next principal will have the opportunity to lead in a district that is growing, improving, and moving forward.
