The start of the school year is full of excitement, and we are absolutely thrilled to formally welcome two incredible leaders to the Ellsworth School Department! Join us in giving a warm ESD welcome to Dan Ormsby and Ashley Mulkern! 🥳🎉

🌟 Meet Dan Ormsby, EHS Assistant Principal Dan is a familiar face to many! A proud community member, he spent seven years in Ellsworth as a teacher and coach for our wrestling and track teams. With 8 years of previous administration experience as both a Principal and Assistant Principal, Dan is dedicated to being a highly visible and approachable leader. His focus is on maintaining a safe, fair, and welcoming environment where every student has the accountability and support they need to succeed.

🌟 Meet Ashley Mulkern, Assistant Special Education Director We are also pleased to welcome Ashley as an additional Assistant Special Education Director. Ashley's specialized focus will be ensuring smooth transitions and delivery of critical services (FAPE) to our district's 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds. She is dedicated to ensuring our youngest learners receive the early support and foundation they need to thrive from the moment they enter our schools.

Welcome, Dan and Ashley! We are incredibly fortunate to have your dedication and expertise supporting our students and our school community! 💛💥
