As you know, DPM Principal Tom Herion will be leaving the District effective July 1 to become the Principal at his alma mater, District 83 Mannheim Middle School. We are thrilled for Tom and know this is a meaningful opportunity for him.

Since learning about Tom's plans, I have spent a great deal of time in the DPM building hosting focus groups, meeting with staff members for one-on-one and small group conversations, and tapping key District administrators to better understand their perspectives on leadership and culture at DPM.

I am pleased to announce that I will be recommending to the Board of Education our two current DPM Associate Principals Megan Eigenrauch and Sam Paulsen to serve as DPM Principals, effective July 1, 2022. Pending Board approval, Megan will lead DPM grades 5 and 6, and Sam will assume responsibilities as principal for DPM grades 7 and 8. Both will be supported by an assistant principal and those positions will be posted early next week... read more
