David Prescott New Principal At Central HS

CENTRAL — Long-time Central educator David Prescott has been named the new principal at Central High School.  Prescott’s selection culminated a nationwide search that ended at Central High where Prescott is assistant principal.
A national search firm found 30 applicants and narrowed the field to six, two of whom withdrew. Faulk and other Central school administrators interviewed the finalists with the assistance of educators from outside the parish.
Ultimately, Prescott was recommended by Faulk to the Central school board, which ratified the selection Monday night. School board president Dr. Jim Gardner said, “Mr. Prescott is an excellent choice. He’s been here a long time and performed very successfully. He understands the problems and the challenges.  We think he will do an excellent job.”  Central High is an A school.  Prescott replaces Bob Wales.
