Superintendent Jeff Ridlehoover stated, “Shayne’s eight years of experience as a high school principal along with his education and experience as a guidance counselor is what really set him apart from all of our applicants. His energy and his reputation as an effective collaborator and communicator will be tremendous assets for Sartell High School.”
Kusler stated, “I am excited to join the Sartell-St. Stephen School District; its deep breadth of programs can help students find their passion so they can move forward in their own definition of excellence. My family has attended St. Francis Xavier Church for the last 10 years, so I look forward to getting to know more community members, families, staff, and students as the principal of Sartell High School.”
Kusler succeeds Interim Sartell High School Principal Tim Wege who was selected to serve as interim principal after Sascha Hansen resigned earlier this year.
