DCSD ready to hire Whittell principal

By Kathryn Reed

Douglas County School District trustees at their Tuesday meeting are expected to hire a principal for Whittell High School.

Crespin Esquivel, an assistant principal at Hug High in Reno, has been chosen for the job. He has had that position since 2005.

All of Esquivel’s experience is in Washoe County, either as a teacher, dean or Hispanic liaison specialist.

He earned his bachelor’s from UNR and master’s from University of Phoenix.

Esquivel replaces Sue Shannon who retired at end of the school year.

The school board meeting is at Douglas High School in Minden on July 13 at 3:30pm.
