It’s been an interesting week in Alexandria, with a preview of new Alexandria City Public Schools’ leadership and an announcement earlier today of another principal’s departure.
Two candidates are squaring off to fill the sizable shoes left in Alexandria City High School by the departing Principal Peter Balas. Alexander Duncan III, the Minnie Howard Campus administrator, and Marcia Rice, principal at Meadowbrook High School, answered a variety of questions Monday night in a Zoom meet-and-greet moderated by former ACHS principal John Porter.
Earlier today, Mount Vernon Community School Principal Liza Burrell-Aldana announced she would be resigning at the end of the month. The resignation comes just months after Burrell-Aldana was named Principal of the Year by the Washington Post.
