Harrisburg High School John Harris Campus
Harrisburg School District officials announced two new principal appointments at a board meeting on Monday night.
Both Melrose Elementary and John Harris High School will be under the leadership of new principals, both familiar faces in the district.
Michelle Felton, formerly the associate principal at Harrisburg High School John Harris Campus, will become the principal.
Felton has 22 years of service in public education, with 18 of those being in the Harrisburg School District, according to a bio on the district’s website. Felton, a Shippensburg University graduate, joined the district in 2003 as one of the founding teachers of Harrisburg High School SciTech Campus. She also spent time as a social studies teacher and department chair.
“It is my honor to be entrusted with leading Harrisburg High School John Harris Campus with a team of dedicated teachers, staff members and administrators in a manner that ensures all students have the opportunity to share their excellence,” Felton said in a statement.
Jaimie Foster, the former assistant principal at Camp Curtin Academy, will take on the role of principal at Melrose Elementary.
Foster was also previously the principal of John Harris before moving to Camp Curtin in early 2020.
“Both of these young ladies have been outstanding in terms of their presence in the district,” said Superintendent Eric Turman. “This is something Harrisburg should be very proud of. I’m very excited for what the future holds for both of them.”
