AURORA — The West Aurora School District has hired two longtime area educators to serve as partner principals for West Aurora High School.
Former West High Principal Dan Bridges resigned in late June to take an assistant superintendent position with the Naperville School District.
West Aurora has hired Ross Truemper, a former principal in Naperville and Oswego, and Rudy Keller, former administrator at Waubonsie Valley High School, to serve together as principals at West High.
While both will provide leadership on a daily basis, Truemper will assume the lead position, according to a district e-mail sent out to parents by Edward Howerton, assistant superintendent for human resources.
Keller retired this year from the Indian Prairie School District, where he was associate principal at Waubonsie Valley. Truemper retired in 2009 from the Naperville School District, where he was the principal at Naperville North.
Keller, a graduate of Aurora University, has a master’s degree in educational administration from Northern Illinois University, and a doctorate of education from Loyola University in Chicago. He spent his entire 33-year career in the Indian Prairie district.
Truemper, a graduate of Monmouth College, has a master’s in physical education from Northern Illinois University and received a general administrative certification from Governor’s State University. He has been principal at Naperville North and Oswego high schools.
Bridges had been West High principal since 2007.
