District names new assistant principals and shifts administrative assignments
Summary
Ogden School District announced promotions and reassignments for several school administrators, including Alexi Flint to Ogden High assistant principal and Caitlin McDonough to assistant principal at Eastridge Elementary; other internal transfers were described to fill resulting openings.
Superintendent (name not stated in the transcript) announced multiple administrative hires and reassignments at the Ogden School Board meeting.
The board and superintendent introduced Alexi Flint as the new assistant principal at Ogden High. The superintendent said Flint has served as a guidance counselor and administrative intern in the district and praised her work as an “excellent” candidate who has been an administrative intern for three years. Alexi Flint spoke briefly, calling the position “my dream job” and saying she was honored to accept the assignment.
Caitlin McDonough was introduced as the new assistant principal at Eastridge Elementary. The superintendent described McDonough’s background as a teacher, instructional coach and elementary administrative intern and noted the district’s internal pipeline of homegrown administrators. McDonough said she is “deeply committed” to the district and grateful for the opportunity to have a broader impact.
The superintendent described a set of related moves to fill vacancies and align leaders to school needs: Jeff Martinez will move to Ben Lomond (he previously served in several roles in the district), Glenn Moon will move from Ogden High to Mount Ogden Junior High as an assistant principal, and Ben Mosher will move to Liberty Elementary. The superintendent characterized the transitions as carefully considered and intended to match leaders’ strengths with school needs.
Why it matters: Administrative leadership assignments affect school operations, instructional leadership and continuity through the school year. The district emphasized that many of the promoted administrators were internal candidates and products of the district’s grow-your-own leadership and internship programs.
Meeting context: The superintendent framed the announcements as part of the district’s broader leadership-development goals and cited the district’s intern program as yielding a strong internal candidate pool. Board members and the audience responded with applause and brief remarks of congratulations.
Ending: The board accepted the personnel announcements; administrators said they will proceed with filling the remaining openings and orienting the newly assigned assistant principals before the next school year.
