When North Branch School District students return to classes in the fall, several new faces will greet them.

The board of education hired three new administrators.

Shaw Brewer was selected to be the district's principal at Ruth Fox Middle School.

Brewer replaces Dane Terauds, who will transitioned to a teaching position.

Kevin Wenzel was hired as the new assistant principal for the district's high school.

Wenzel is replacing Brooke Martin, who is moving out of the district.

Welling will replace Lori Wierbicki who is retiring.
