Crone has served at the CCSD for 27 of his 32 years in education.

“I am looking forward to the new challenge at the downtown campus,” he said. “This role will allow me to work with a new group of people and continue to establish the relationships that help create a positive environment for students and staff.”

Seders has been a principal with CCS for the past nine years and has 23 years in education.

As a former middle school teacher, she said she is looking forward to the 23-24 school year at Crenshaw!

“Middle school can often be a difficult time for students to navigate, but it is also an age that can be super rewarding to work with. I am hopeful that we can create an environment of high expectations and fun that has students looking forward to spending their days at Crenshaw!” Seders said.

Julie Addessi will replace Seders as principal at McGregor.

Addessi has been gaining experience as an assistant principal at Worley and says she is both excited and grateful to be increasing her impact as principal of McGregor Intermediate School.

Also joining the ranks of CCS principals is Bobbie Grimm. Currently an assistant principal at the STEAMM Academy, Grimm will lead Choices High School on the downtown campus.

With the district since 2002, Grimm said, “I am looking forward to working with exceptional educators to design an Alternative High School that provides intensive support and assists students who may have struggled to stay on track for graduation to obtain their goal of graduation.”

Sherri Kitzmiller, district discipline hearing officer, will become the principal at Compton Learning Center and says she is excited to lead.
