Bangor’s MS/HS and Elementary Principals set to Retire.
At the December and January regular school board meetings, the Board approved the retirements, at the conclusion of the 24-25 school year, for MS/HS principal Rick Muellenberg and Elementary principal Michael Johnson. With a combined 60 years of service to public education and their last 6 years as principals in Bangor, this duo has impacted countless lives for the better. Their contributions to the School District of Bangor will be remembered for years to come. The School District wishes them all the best in their next chapters of life.
The interview process is underway for the new MS/HS Principal and the Elementary process will begin in the next couple of weeks. We are optimistic for early hires and smooth transitions for these roles.
Congratulations to Rick and Mike on incredible careers in public education!
