Wissahickon School District has named a new principal at Lower Gwynedd Elementary School nearly two months after the previous principal was fired after allegedly leaving antisemitic remarks on a parent's voicemail.
Dr. Miesja M. Cubito was approved as the new principal at a Feb. 2 board meeting.
Cubito, who has more than 20 years in education, including six as a principal, will start at Lower Gwynedd on April 6.
She replaced Philip Leddy, who, according to the district, self-reported leaving antisemitic remarks on a voicemail. He reportedly believed the call had ended and was speaking with another employee. He was fired in December.
