Two former Walled Lake Consolidated Schools’ principals will return to the district to lead Dublin Elementary. Current interim principal Adam Scher will retire and his last day will be on Friday, October 18.
“We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Scher for his dedication, hard work, and leadership during this past couple of months,” said Ali Hamka, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources. “He has been instrumental in maintaining a stable and supportive learning environment for our students, staff, and families. We are grateful for his commitment to our school community during this time of transition and wish him continued happiness as he returns to retirement life.”
Jeff Drewno will return to Dublin Elementary as interim principal, where he previously served as principal for nine years from 2012 until 2021. Drewno worked within Walled Lake Consolidated Schools for 32 year before his retirement. He started as a teacher before becoming principal at both Dublin and Twin Beach Elementary. His first day will be Wednesday, November 6.
“We are thrilled to welcome back Mr. Jeff Drewno,” said Hamka. “We are positive that he will continue to build on the great things that are happening at Dublin as we continue the search for a permanent principal.”
In the interim, Kristin Froning will lead Dublin Elementary starting Friday, October 18. Mrs. Froning recently retired at the end of the 2023-24 school year. She served as principal at Oakley Park Elementary for the past 14 years.
“I am so excited to get to know you and to serve at Dublin Elementary in the coming weeks,” said Froning. “I know Dublin is a strong school community with an excellent staff, supportive families, and amazing students, and I look forward to working together.”
"We are thrilled to welcome back two exceptional leaders, Mrs. Froning and Mr. Drewno, to serve as interim principals at Dublin Elementary,” said Dr. Michael Lonze, Superintendent of Schools. “Mrs. Froning and Mr. Drewno have a long and storied history with our district, bringing a deep understanding of our values and an unwavering commitment to our school communities.”
“Their strong connections and proven leadership ensure that Dublin is in the best hands,” continued Lonze. “We know they will each guide the school with heart, experience, and a passion for education, continuing to uphold the tradition of excellence at Dublin Elementary."
