Crook County School District officials are hosting three candidates vying to become the new Crook County High School principal.

Jayel Hayden, Executive Director of Human Resources says all three candidates are well qualified.  "Risa Hawley, she's currently a principal in the state of Georgia, in the Jackson County School District; Mark Hebert, he's currently a principal in the Phoenix, Arizona area; our current Vice Principal, her name is Michelle Jonas; she's been the vice principal here at Crook County High School for the past 3 years."

Hayden says all candidates will meet with students, parents, the community and district officials.

The Crook County School Board could select the new principal on their February 26th meeting.

The new principal will replace Rocky Miner, who is retiring at the end of June.
