Adams Central principal resigns after six years; board to begin search

Mrs. Ish, the high school and middle school principal at Adams Central Community Schools, told the board at its March meeting that she is resigning after six years in the role. "I just want to thank everybody for the opportunity to serve," she said, expressing appreciation for teachers, students and the community.

Board members praised Mrs. Ish's leadership and long service to district students and families. The resignations were included in the consent agenda approved by the board; the motion to accept the consent agenda carried (vote not specified). A board member noted Mrs. Ish had filled multiple roles over roughly 20 years of service and thanked her publicly for that work.

Superintendent Mr. McCclary said the administration will begin a formal search process for a replacement. He plans to meet with high school and middle school staff to outline the timeline and hiring steps. The superintendent said the district expects to attract qualified candidates and aims to return to the board with finalists in the coming weeks.

The board did not provide a hire date or further personnel details at the meeting; the search timeline and next procedural steps will be posted when available.
