Mayfield Alum Joelle Magyar Returns To The School District To Be Assistant Superintendent

Mayfield High School alumni Joelle Magyar will be returning to the school district as an assistant superintendent, the district recently announced.

She will finish the school year with Brunswick Schools, where she serves as assistant superintendent, and joing Mayfield effective August 1.

Magyar was selected from a pool of 25 candidates. The district said Magyar's strong background in curriculum and instruction, strong leadership style and classroom teaching experience earned her the position.

"We are so pleased to have Joelle come back to Mayfield to share her wealth of experience, leadership and talent," Superintendent Keith Kelly said in a statement.

Magyar will be hired into a position that was created to replace the Director of Curriculum post.

"Restructuring is critical to the health and longevity of the district," Kelly said. "We have to be agile enough to face the new changes of public education. This is forward thinking.

Magyar will lead the curriculum department when the current Director of Curriculum Susan Beatty retires. She will also serve as the link to the superintendent and board of education between central office directors.

Magyar began her schooling at Center Elementary and graduated from Mayfield in 1988.

"I am truly excited," Magyar said. "For me it's always about giving back to Mayfield. I was prepared for life when I graduated college because of the foundation I was given at Mayfield. I want to be that example of hard work and achievement for the kids at Mayfield.

"They have a great future ahead of them."
