New Chief School Administrator John Haney meets with Assistant Principal Christine Capaci and Linda Penney, supervisor of instruction, to discuss the school year.


John Haney is Cranbury School principal and chief school administrator.

John Haney might be new to the Cranbury School, but the new chief school administrator and principal already feels at home there.

"Everyone has been so nice and welcoming — that's been a really nice feature here. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with. They've been so warm and supportive," he said. "It is starting to feel a lot like home."

Mr. Haney began working at the school July 2, when he assumed two different roles at the school's administrative level.

"As principal, I'm responsible for the running of the building, and as chief school administrator, you're more responsible for district issues and the bigger-picture issues like budget, staff, curriculum, the facility and long-term planning."

And while Cranbury School's students may have the summer off, Mr. Haney has been working behind the scenes to prepare for the 2007–2008 school year.
