At the February 20, 2025, school board meeting, the Central Valley School School Board of Education voted unanimously to hire Mr. Shawn McCreary as the new Superintendent of Schools of the Central Valley School District. When the previous Superintendent, Dr. Nicholas Perry, announced his retirement in October after 13 years of service, the Board commenced a detailed and thorough process to find the next leader of the District. After a school community survey and several phases of interviews with multiple candidates, Mr. Shawn McCreary emerged as the ideal candidate for the position.
Shawn has served as a teacher and administrator for Monaca and Central Valley School Districts, most recently as the principal of Central Valley High School. As a lifelong resident, business owner, and, most importantly, educator of the District, Shawn has an unmatched commitment to Central Valley's students, staff, and school community.
