At a special meeting on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 of the Windsor Locks Board of Education Meeting, the BOE appointed Mr. Steven Swensen as the next Windsor Locks High School Principal.
Upon the completion of a very exhaustive process, where over 50 people were involved, Superintendent Susie Bell recommended Mr. Swensen to the Board of Education for Appointment. Mr. Swensen comes to Windsor Locks with extensive school leadership experience, most recently as one of three Housemasters at Shelton High School in Shelton, Connecticut. In Shelton, Mr. Swensen was involved in many of the same changes Windsor Locks is undergoing to become a competency-based school district.
In addition, Mr. Swensen brings his 10+ years of experience as mathematics teacher to the district, along with numerous years of both Junior Varsity and Varsity coaching in Basketball and Softball.
Superintendent Bell said, “Mr. Swensen is a perfect fit for Windsor Locks High School. His experience, commitment, understanding of adolescents and young adults, and passion for helping all students achieve at high levels will have a positive impact on both Windsor Locks High School and the entire Windsor Locks Public Schools community.”
