Granville Central School District is excited to welcome Doug Duell as our interim principal at the Jr./Sr. High for the upcoming school year. With over 30 years of experience in education, including 10 years as assistant principal and 15 years as a high school principal in Warrensburg, NY, Mr. Duell brings a wealth of knowledge and a commitment to fostering a positive and engaging school environment.
Doug Duell is not just a principal in name—he’s a leader who believes in being actively engaged in school life. “I like to be involved and be in the hallways, cafeteria, and at events. I hope to get to know the teachers and students and listen to their concerns,” Mr. Duell shared. His hands-on approach is sure to bring a renewed sense of connection and direction to our school community.
Having grown up in a small rural town, Mr. Duell has a special affinity for the unique dynamics of rural education. “I understand students from small towns, as that was me and I have a knack for working well with them,” he said. His personal experience and dedication make him an excellent fit for Granville, where he aims to build strong relationships and create a supportive learning environment.
On a personal note, Mr. Duell will be commuting from Glens Falls, NY, where he resides with his wife, who is also an educator. He is the proud father of two grown sons and has a background as a high school baseball and basketball coach and a decade as athletic director at Warrensburg. His extensive experience in coaching adds an extra layer of insight into fostering teamwork and growth among students.
We are thrilled to have Mr. Duell join us for the 2024-2025 school year and look forward to the positive impact he will undoubtedly make. Please join us in welcoming him to the Granville Central School District!
