Harrisburg School District names new assistant superintendent, announces return to in-person board meetings

Harrisburg School District Administration building

The Harrisburg School District has seen a lot of recent change in leadership, and on Tuesday, a few new officials were appointed.

Leading her first school board meeting as the district’s new court-appointed receiver, Dr. Lori Suski approved Dr. Marisol Craig as assistant superintendent of schools.

Craig previously served as the district’s director of virtual learning.

In her new role, Craig will serve as second-in-command to Superintendent Dr. Eric Turman, who took his position in July. Her term of appointment begins on Feb. 23 and extends through June 2026 at an annual salary of $151,000.

Suski was chosen in January by the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas to take the place of Dr. Janet Samuels, who resigned her post.

Also on Tuesday, Suski approved Kevin Deane as the new assistant principal of Harrisburg High School-John Harris Campus. Deane takes the position that was left empty by Michelle Felton who was promoted to principal of John Harris in August.

Also, earlier this year, Dr. Marcia Stokes took the role of business administrator for the district.

In other news, next month, the district will hold its first in-person school board meeting after two years of virtual gatherings due to the pandemic. The next meeting will be held on March 21.
