(KNZA)--The Riverside school district didn’t have to go far in its search for a new high school principal.
The USD 114 Board of Education this week voted to offer a one-year contract to current first year high school math teacher Marlin Roach for the position.
Roach was among three candidates interviewed by the Board during a special meeting March 28th.
Prior to coming to Riverside, Roach served as high school activities director in the Cameron, Missouri school district for two years. Before that, he served four years as a principal in the Lexington, Missouri school district.
Roach will replace Bob Blair who will take over as superintendent of the Riverside school district beginning next school. Blair is replacing Mike Newman who is retiring at the end of current school year after holding the superintendent position for 14 years.
