Long to Leave FHS for Indiana Association of School Principals

FRANKFORT, Ind. (February 14, 2024) – Frankfort High School principal Cindy Long has accepted a position with the Indiana Association of School Principals (IASP) and will leave FHS June 30, 2024.

The Frankfort School Board accepted her resignation at its Tuesday evening meeting.

Long has been employed with the Community Schools of Frankfort (CSF) for 23-years as first a teacher, then FHS assistant principal and since August 2019 FHS principal.

At IASP, Long will join a former FHS principal, Dr. Todd Bess. Dr. Bess serves as the executive director.

CSF Superintendent Dr. Matt Rhoda described Long’s new role with IASP as an “assistant director and work with law makers to help impact laws that affect public education.”

He shared Long has been a “great leader at the high school and will be missed.”

Dr. Rhoda is hopeful to have a candidate selected to fill the position in time of the May 14 school board meeting noting June is a busy hiring time for schools and wanted the new person to be in place by June to “(work) with Cindy” and have “the opportunity for any open positions to be able to hire.”
