Paw Paw Public Schools recently welcomed Carolyn Murray as its new Paw Paw Later Elementary principal. She succeeds former Paw Paw LES Principal Jeremy Davison, who was recently named as the district’s new superintendent.
Before joining PPPS, Murray served as principal at St. Mary Catholic School, Paw Paw. Prior to that, she taught kindergarten and second grade in St. Joseph, MI.
Murray graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education and Psychology from Augustana College. She is nearing completion of her Master of Arts degree in Educational Leadership from Western Michigan University.
“There was overwhelming support for Ms. Murray as the top candidate for the position,” said Superintendent Jeremy Davison. “I am excited to have Carolyn join our dynamic leadership team, and I look forward to the positive impact she will have on the students, staff and families at Paw Paw Later Elementary. I am also grateful to our Later Elementary Interim Principal Karen Bitzer, a retired school administrator, who has graciously agreed to stay on temporarily in a leadership mentoring capacity.”
In addition to building collaborative staff relationships, Murray looks forward to getting better acquainted with the students, staff and families at the later elementary and in the district.
Principal Carolyn Murray can be reached by phone at (269) 415-5400, or by email at: carolyn.murray@ppps.org.
