Rogers High School running with an acting principal while the post is filled

What happened

The Rogers High School principal's post fell vacant during the year. On April 20, 2026 the School Committee agreed to advertise it on a jobs site for three weeks, and a member set out a hiring protocol. By the June 9 meeting the school was being run by an acting principal, Michael Monahan, alongside the new interim superintendent.

Why it matters to families

The high school principal is the person who sets the tone and the rules a teenager lives with every day, and Rogers went into the summer without a permanent one at the same time as the district changed superintendent.

The evidence

The June 9, 2026 approved minutes list RHS Acting Principal Michael Monahan in attendance. The April 20, 2026 minutes record item 4.5, the committee's discussion of the procedure and process for hiring a High School Principal and the decision to post the position on SchoolSpring for three weeks. No collected minutes record a permanent appointment.
