 <\/p>\n

\u201cI am very honored to have the opportunity to serve as Principal of North Hunterdon High School.\u00a0 I\u00a0am genuinely committed and dedicated to the positive future of NHHS students and staff.\u00a0 I look forward to applying my educational experience as I continue to form positive relationships with the community and continue moving North Hunterdon High School along a path of success.\u00a0 I feel very fortunate to serve as Principal of this distinguished organization, one with a strong reputation of academic achievement and an outstanding student body with strong parental and community support,\u201d said Dr. Cottrell.<\/p>\n
