Fulton County’s two newest elementary schools have their first principals.

Adam Maroney, the current principal of Alpharetta Elementary, will lead the “Highway 9/West Roswell” school which is the temporary home of Esther Jackson Elementary School. When the newly rebuilt Esther Jackson opens in August, its students will move back to their Martin Road home and Highway 9 elementary will reopen under a new name with a new student body.

In south Fulton, Dionne Glass has been selected to lead Derrick Road Elementary. Glass, principal at Brookview Elementary School for the past five years, also has been an assistant principal at Harriet Tubman Elementary and an administrative assistant and curriculum support teacher at Seaborn Lee Elementary.

The new appointments were announced at a Fulton school board meeting Thursday night. Glass and Maroney will begin their new positions once replacement or interim leaders are named for their current schools.
