New Deer Isle-Stonington High School principal starting in July
DEER ISLE The new Deer Isle-Stonington High School principal will move to the island in June after having handled discipline for a Nashville, Tenn., middle school of 900-plus students whose families spoke about 40 different languages.
Laura Davis, a Nashville native, starts July 1 and replaces current Principal Dennis Duquette, who is leaving to explore other options.
The city of Nashville between November 2020 and January 2021 was cited as the COVID-19 hotspot of the world, Davis said. The city had stints where 10,000 to 15,000 people a day were testing positive for the coronavirus. So, she’s ready for Maine.
