The Green Bay Area Public School District has selected two finalists in its search for a new superintendent after an extensive nationwide search.

Engaging the public in this process allows residents to have a voice in choosing the leader who will guide the district's vision and priorities.

The details

The two finalists, Hernandez and Trimberger, will each spend a day immersed in the Green Bay Area Public School District to learn more about the community and share their own visions. Hernandez's meet-and-greet is scheduled for Wednesday, March 4th from 5:00-6:00 PM at the Old Library in West High School, while Trimberger's event is set for Thursday, March 5th at the same time and location.
