New Hartford native named new Grundy Center Elementary principal

    GRUNDY CENTER —A New Hartford native and long-time elementary teacher will assume a new role next school year as the new principal at Grundy Center Elementary.
    Sammons has taught first, second, third and fourth grade for 18 years beginning in Cresco and most recently in Aplington, where he has been for the past 12 years. He also student-taught kindergarten.
    Sammons said he has been filling leadership roles in Aplington for the past several years and began feeling the call to move into a more formal leadership role a few years ago.
    “I feel the ultimate leadership role obviously is the principal. You get to affect so many kids,” he said.  “It was time for me to make that move because a lot of people depend on me at my school for leadership. I think this is going to be a good fit.”
