(KNZA)--A former teacher for the South Brown County Schools returns to serve as High School Principal.

That follows the decision of the USD 430 Board of Education Monday night, following an executive session focused on the hiring of district staff members.

Selected as Principal of Horton High School is Fred Winter.

Winter, hired for the 2017-2018 school year, fills the vacancy created by the resignation of current High School principal David Norman, who is retiring at the end of the current school year.

Winter previously worked in the local school district, serving as the high school and elementary school physical education instructor from 2004 to 2008.

Winter, who currently serves as special education instructor at the Alternative High School in Hays, Kansas, was hired at an annual salary of $72,000.

Along with Winter, the Board of Education also hired several teachers for the school district's 2017-2018 school year.

That includes the selection of Kertis Keehn as high school science and college biology teacher, and two teachers for the Horton Elementary School,  Ashley Dishon and Annie Ross.

Two teaching resignations were also accepted as an outcome of the meeting.
That includes Second grade teacher JoLynn Gasper and current high school language arts and world history instructor, Alexandra Kilhoffer.
