MARYSVILLE – The hunt for a new principal at Marysville-Pilchuck High School has ended — at least for now.

Despite an extensive search, the district leadership team was unable to identify a leader for the school this year. So, it has decided on two candidates in the interim.

Deann Anguino and Rob Lowry will serve as co-principals for 2014-15.

Lowry has been an administrator in the Marysville School District since 1979.  He started his career teaching and became assistant principal of Marysville Middle School in 1990.  He then was hired to serve as vice principal at MPHS in 2001.

Anguino was hired last year to serve as assistant principal at MPHS.

Previously, she worked in the Kent School District for 13 years as a math teacher and academic interventionist.

Also, Lori Stolee, a former high school assistant principal for the Coupeville School District, has been hired to serve as interim assistant principal.

Stolee also previously served as a director for the prevention center at NWESD and assistant principal at a middle school in the Mount Vernon School District.

Andrew Frost, the previous principal at Marysville-Pilchuck, who had served since 2010, accepted a position this summer as assistant principal at Gig Harbor High School.

Frost said he wanted to be closer to his aging parents, and that he always wanted to return to Gig Harbor as he graduated from the high school there.
