MOSS POINT, Miss. (AP) — Shannon Vincent has been hired as superintendent of the Moss Point School District.
Vincent is currently the principal of Pascagoula School District's Opportunity Center, the district's alternative school for middle and high school students. She took on that job in July 2012.
School officials say Vincent was selected from a field of five finalists who were interviewed by the board earlier this month.
Vincent is expected to start work on July 1.
Former Moss Point Superintendent Maggie Griffin notified the board in January that she wanted to retire June 30 after a more than 35-year career in education.
Griffin had replaced Greg Ladner, a retired superintendent from Pearl Public School District who was tapped as interim superintendent when former boss Kim Staley's contract expired June 30, 2011.
