ROCK FALLS – The Montmorency School Board this week is interviewing five candidates for principal to, in part, replace retiring Superintendent John Rosenberry.

The board interviewed a batch of candidates Monday night and will interview another group Wednesday night. The board then will narrow the field to three candidates, who will interview with the board, staff and community members.

One of the five candidates is from within the school district, others are from the area, said Rosenberry, who serves as superintendent and principal of the rural, 300-student school.
