Orono High principal named new Union 93 superintendent
BLUE HILL —
Union 93 includes the towns of Blue Hill, Surry, Penobscot, Castine and Brooksville.
Reg Ruhlin will replace Mark Hurvitt, who is retiring effective July 1.
The Union 93 Board voted unanimously to hire Ruhlin at its meeting Monday at the Penobscot Elementary School.
Ruhlin is currently principal of Orono High School.
“I’m really interested in the school union organization,” said Ruhlin. That includes the “really community-centered schools in each of the five towns.”
During the interview process, the people involved, including principals, parents and others, “felt really warm, welcoming and committed,” he said.
