FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio -- Earlier this year, Fairview Park City Schools named North Ridgeville Academic Center Assistant Principal Shanna Kovi as the new Gilles-Sweet Elementary School Associate Principal.
In August, the Rocky River resident begins her new role, which was vacant this past school year after last summer longtime Gilles-Sweet Elementary School Assistant Principal Matt Krivak took over as the head of the W. 220th Street building.
“This past year was really challenging because, obviously, I was moving from the assistant position into the principal position,” Krivak said.
“Then I was also doing it in the middle of a pandemic. The decision was made this year to fill the associate principal position so it’s going to be very helpful.”
Going into the interview process, Krivak said the school was looking for somebody who could round off the school’s leadership team. After receiving 72 applications, the field was narrowed to 13 before selecting six interviewees.
“In her final interview, Shanna came through as the most knowledgeable,” Krivak said. “Each candidate had a presentation they shared at the final interview. She hit it out of the park. Shanna also brings with her an extensive knowledge of curriculum and early literacy.”
Prior to joining North Ridgeville City Schools in 2018, Kovi spent 17 years with the Euclid City Schools as an instructional coach, first grade teacher, substitute principal and reading recovery teacher.
In addition to receiving a bachelor’s of science in elementary education from Bowling Green State University, she earned her master’s degree in educational administration from Cleveland State University.
“Fairview is a great community,” said Kovi in a press release. “I’m honored to be a part of the Fairview family and work alongside Matt. I’m eager to meet the students and staff. I look forward to the great things ahead at Gilles-Sweet.”
Krivak said the school is so eager for her to join the ranks they’re hosting a meet-and-greet breakfast with the new associate principal and existing staff on Thursday (April 1).
“The one thing I’m looking forward to is her establishing that relationship and rapport with staff, students and families, as well as getting involved with our multitiered system of support,” Krivak said.
“We’ve spent this past year kind of updating and revising our process, so I’m looking forward to Mrs. Kovi being able to kind of finish it off.”
