(KNZA)--A new Royal Valley USD 337 superintendent has been hired.  

According to the district’s website, the Board of Education during a special meeting Wednesday evening voted to hire Aaric Davis for the position.  Davis was offered a two-year contract.

He is currently principal of Hartford Junior-Senior High School, which is part of Southern Lyon County USD 252.

Davis previously worked at Royal Valley for 12 years.  He served as the principal at Royal Valley Middle School from 2011 to 2013 and was the assistant Royal Valley High School principal from 2008-2011.  Prior to that, he taught math at the high school for seven year.

Davis was among three candidates interviewed by the USD 337 Board last week.

He will replace John Rundle who is retiring at the end of the current school year after serving as superintendent for 15 years.  Rundle began his career in Royal Valley 40 years ago as a middle school English teacher.
