Canton High School Names New Principal

CANTON, MA — Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Fischer-Mueller announced that Jeff Sperling has been selected as the new principal of Canton High School.

The Interview Committee organized multiple rounds of interviews which narrowed the prospects for the position down to three finalists. Each finalist spent time virtually and in-person with the Canton High School community, allowing students and faculty members to asses and get a better idea of who would be taking the position.

Sperling was eventually selected as principal after careful consideration.

Acting as a program supervisor and mentor with the Massachusetts School Administrators Association Leadership and License Program since 2006, Sperling has also served as the assistant principal of Medfield High School since 2005, and serves as an assistant coach of men's rugby at Brown University.

Previously, Sterling worked as a guidance counselor at Hopkinton High School.

"I would like to officially welcome Jeff Sperling to the Canton High School community. I am confident that he will be an excellent addition to our high school and district as a whole," Dr. Fischer-Mueller said. "He shares our values of educational excellence and equity, with high standards and expectations for students and staff, and a culture of belonging and collaboration."

Sperling will begin in his new position on Thursday, July 1.
