Assistant

principal

hired at PHS

PUTNAM — The Putnam Board of Education recently named Suzanne Sansoucy as the new assistant principal of Putnam High School. Sansoucy will replace Mrs. Vetrovec in the position.  Vetrovec was appointed to the position of principal at Putnam High School on the retirement of Mr. Ptaszynski effective July 1, 2015. 

Sansoucy was chosen from a large field of candidates.    A search committee, made up of a Board of Education member, administrators, teaching staff, a paraprofessional and a parent, interviewed eight qualified candidates.  After two rounds of interviews, the committee narrowed the field to three finalists.  Each finalist was then interviewed by Superintendent William Hull. These three finalists were then forwarded to the Board of Education.   The Board of Education met with the candidates choosing Sansoucy unanimously.

Currently Sansoucy is a guidance counselor at the Norwich Free Academy, serving in this role since 2005.

She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UConn and a master’s degree in school counseling from Southern Connecticut State University.

She has recently received her administrator’s certification from Sacred Heart University.  Superintendent Hull said “Sansoucy emerged from an extremely strong field of candidates. We are thrilled to have Suzanne join the Putnam Family. She comes to Putnam highly recommended. She will help us maintain and advance excellence in the district.”
