Last month, the school board voted to approve the retirement of current MMS Principal Paula Wolter Mattson, effective June 6. Wolter Mattson was hired as middle school principal in 2021.

In addition to approving Reynolds as MMS principal, school board members also approved hiring a new assistant principal to fill Reynolds’ former position. The board voted to approve a notice of a new contract for Southview Elementary teacher Bennett Appel. Appel will become assistant principal at MMS, effective July 1.
