The newly combined Woodland Park middle and high schools now have their assistant principals.

Chad Cosner will be the high school assistant principal and Michelle Eastman will assume the same role for the middle school.

The appointments will be effective July 1.

This follows the recent appointment of Tory Richey as the principal of the combined campus.

Cosner is a 5-year veteran of the Woodland park School District. He has held various roles, including high school counselor, athletic director, dean of students, and interim assistant principal.

“His extensive experience and commitment to students’ academic and personal development make him a valuable addition to the secondary campus leadership team,” WPSD said in a press release.

Eastman has four years of service in the district. She has served as a high school social studies teacher and an AP human geography teacher and has been instrumental in leading the student council.

“Her dedication to creating a positive learning environment and her ability to connect with students and staff position her as an ideal fit for the role,” the district said.

According to WPSD, both Cosner and Eastman understand the importance of partnering with parents and guardians in the education of students.

“They recognize that collaboration between school and home is fundamental to student success and are committed to fostering open lines of communication, and building strong partnerships with families,” the district said.

Interim Principal Cindy Gannon will continue to support the Richey and Cosner, the district said.

“Her vision, coupled with her ability to inspire both students and staff, has significantly contributed to WPHS’s overall success and stability,” the district said.
