Katie Caggia is taking over as the new principal at Glenwood Elementary School.
The move was approved at the Chapel Hill – Carrboro City Schools Board of Education meeting on Thursday night.
Caggia has been serving as the assistant principal at Estes Hills Elementary School since 2013, where she was named the district’s Assistant Principal of the Year last year.
Prior to her tenure at Estes Hills, Caggia served as principal intern at Green Hope Elementary in Cary and was a teacher for 15 years at Olive Chapel Elementary in Apex.
“Katie Caggia is an excellent choice to lead Glenwood Elementary,” said Executive Director of Human Resources Arasi Adkins. “She has enjoyed a tremendously successful career as an educator. Her understanding of quality instruction is only matched by her passion for student success. She demonstrates superior leadership skills, and is an expert at building relationships with students, staff and parents.”
Caggia is replacing Dr. Darlene Ryan, who moved from principal at Glenwood to serving as the district’s executive director of curriculum and instruction.
Caggia received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from UNC.
