Haughey, who has overseen the regional school district since 2018 has no plans to retire and is excited by the possibilities for the district ‘s future. “It is our goal to have all leadership team positions filled by the end of July - if not sooner,” Haughey said. “Summer is always a busy time of year; why should this year be any different.”
