14 Palm Beach County schools will have new principals this year. Check out the list

At least 14 public schools in Palm Beach County and a 15th under construction will have fresh faces at the helm when the new school year begins Aug. 12.

The school board has named new principals at Palm Beach Gardens and Royal Palm Beach high schools along with new leaders for 10 elementary schools and two middle schools. One principal, Dwan Moore Ross, has been named to lead the district's new elementary school near Arden and Westlake when it opens in 2025.

The school board began appointing new school leaders in June and may continue to appoint new principals even after the school year begins.

The number of schools with new leadership at the beginning of an academic year is historically between 10 and 20 across more than 180 Palm Beach County district-operated schools. Leadership changes are driven by a host of personnel matters, including retirements, promotions and departures for other positions.
