(KNZA)--Holton USD 336 is beginning the search for a new elementary principal and assistant principal.

Superintendent Trevor Ashcraft told the Holton Recorder that Principal Taylor Dunham and Assistant Principal Carrie Davis have accepted administrative positions in other districts and will not return next school year.

Dunham joined Holton Elementary as assistant principal in July 2020 and became principal in July 2023. Davis also started with the district in 2020, serving as a counselor and coordinator for the Holton Special Education Cooperative before being promoted to assistant principal in 2023.

Ashcraft says Dunham had one year remaining on her contract, while Davis had recently received a one-year extension approved by the school board in February.

The district says it will begin accepting applications for both positions immediately.
