Ithaca City School District (ICSD) Superintendent Luvelle Brown is pleased to announce that two district administrators will transition into new roles for the 2020-2021 school year.

Carlan Gray, who currently serves as an associate principal at Ithaca High School, will transition to the role of principal of DeWitt Middle School on July 1, 2020. Gray first joined the ICSD in 2005. Prior to her appointment as associate principal in 2018, she served as a high school biology teacher, science department chair, and master educator for science, math, engineering and technology (STEM). In addition to several district-wide professional development projects, Gray has also supported the ICSD by serving as a coach for the cross-country team.

Lauren Wright will transition to the role of principal of Boynton Middle School on July 1, 2020, as well. Wright began her career in the district in 2013 as a social studies teacher at Ithaca High School. She then served as a district-wide technology integration specialist before being appointed associate principal at Boynton in 2018.

The ICSD Board of Education approved the appointments of Gray and Wright to their new roles on Tuesday, May 12, 2020.

"The role of principal is very important for our school community," said ICSD Superintendent Luvelle Brown. "Our district is fortunate to have these two internal trailblazers with the talent, experiences and passion needed to lead our buildings."
