The Fairfield Community School District has named two finalists for its middle school assistant principal position following a search process that drew 24 applicants.
Heather Sisk and Andrew McDonald will visit the district for on-site interviews on Tuesday, April 28th. Interview teams will include staff, students, and parents who will provide feedback throughout the afternoon.
Sisk brings 20 years of experience in the Keokuk Community School District, where she currently serves as a school and community liaison. In that role she has focused on strengthening connections between schools, families, and community partners and creating supportive environments to help students grow academically and socially.
McDonald currently serves as the 6th through 12th grade band director and fine arts department chair at Highland Community Schools in Riverside, a position he has held since 2020. He also serves on the district’s middle and high school building leadership team. During his tenure at Highland, McDonald expanded student participation in band and led the jazz band to two consecutive appearances at the Iowa Jazz Championships.
Superintendent Zach Wigle expressed enthusiasm about both candidates. “We are excited to welcome Heather and Andy to FCSD as finalists for this important leadership role,” Wigle said. “Both candidates bring strong experience, a commitment to student success, and a clear focus on building positive school communities. We look forward to continuing the interview process.”
