Butterfield Assistant Principal Candice Kehoe will take over as principal of the school this summer.
During a Libertyville Elementary District 70 Board of Education meeting Monday night, board members unanimously approved hiring Kehoe, 33. The administrator has been helping direct the district's largest grade school for the last four years. She works along side Dr. Guy Schumacher, who will be promoted to superintendent in July.
A DePaul University graduate, Kehoe has served as director of the district's popular Summer School for the last two years. She served as principal of the program for years. Kehoe taught fifth grade at Adler Park School for six years before moving into an administrative role for Butterfield in the 2005-06 school year. She completed her administrative internship at Adler Park School.
"Over the past ten years, I have had the professional privilege to work with District 70's strong leadership team, effective teaching staff, dedicated parents and the best students," Kehoe said. " The opportunity to continue serving District 70 and Butterfield's community, as principal, is an honor and dream come true." |
