New Principal for Meany Middle School

District appoints Cleveland principal

Meany Middle School principal Princess Shareef will become principal of Cleveland High School next year, Seattle Public Schools has announced.

She'll replace interim principal Wayne Floyd, who is taking a district position, helping to implement part of the Southeast Education Initiative. Cleveland's previous principal, Donna Marshall, left the district abruptly just before the beginning of the 2007 school year, when Cleveland's remodeled building opened on Beacon Hill.

Stacey McCrath-Smith will replace Shareef as principal of Meany in July. McCrath-Smith is now interim principal at John Marshall Alternative School, ushering the school through its final year. John Marshall is closing this spring.
