The Burgettstown School District has found its new Superintendent. The board has appointed Stephen Puskar to take over for Dr. James Walsh who is leaving to become Superintendent in the Bethel Park School District. Puskar currently serves as the Jr./Sr. High Principal of Claysburg-Kimmel School District near Altoona. He previously worked as an administrator in the Wilkinsburg and Baldwin-Whitehall School Districts. Puskar says “I am both proud and grateful that the school board selected me to be Dr. Walsh’s successor.” “I am humbled to be the next Superintendent” and “I look forward to working alongside everyone to create the best possible learning environment for the students.” The district says Dr. Joyce Nicksick will serve as acting superintendent during a transition period. She lives in Burgettstown and is a retired superintendent from Wilmington School District in Lawrence County.
