New secondary school principal in Morrisville
Posted in News on Thursday, August 28th, 2008 at 4:31 pm by Courier Times reporter Manasee Wagh

Morrisville Middle/High School will have a new principal this year.William Ferrara will step up from his position as assistant principal at the school, replacing Melanie Gehrens. She retired from the position earlier this summer.

The district has not chosen a new assistant principal at this time. Ferrara currently expects to take on the challenge of both principal and assistant principal duties, starting immediately, with a salary of $98,000.

He has been with the district since November 2006.

The district also has a new temporary director of pupil personnel, Anthony J. Gesualdi. He has 30 years of education experience from the Pennsbury School District, as well as two years at the Bucks County Intermediate Unit No. 22. Most recently he worked in the Bristol Borough School District as director of special education. He temporarily replaces Kimberly Myers, who retired from Morrisville.

“There’s a shortage of special education supervisors lately,” said Gesualdi, who is happy to fill in while the district continues advertising to fill the position permanently.


Retired M. R. Reiter Elementary School principal Karen Huggins will be filling in as substitute principal for both Reiter and Grandview Elementary Schools while Kate Taylor is out on medical leave.

District schools open on Sept. 3.
