HORSHAM — Hatboro-Horsham School District has appointed Dr. Ted Domers as assistant superintendent and Dr. Andre’ McLaurin as director of educational programming, effective July 1.
“Dr. Domers and Dr. McLaurin bring a wealth of knowledge and experience into their roles,” said Superintendent Dr. Scott Eveslage. “The district is excited to begin collaborating with them and see what they help us achieve in Hatboro-Horsham.”
Domers, the assistant superintendent in the School District of Philadelphia, is appointed to assistant superintendent of Hatboro-Horsham School District. He will replace Dr. Monica Taylor, who is retiring after 36 years as a public school educator and 22 years as a Hatter.
“I am looking forward to working with the school leaders, teachers and families to deepen the culture of achievement on behalf of all of our students,” said Domers. “The Hatboro-Horsham School District is a district on the rise with a strong framework for learning, supports and extracurriculars. I am excited to bring my collaborative leadership approach to support continued improvement and excellence in service of the Hatboro-Horsham community.”
In the School District of Philadelphia, Domers currently oversees Learning Network 1, which includes 19 schools around the city, including magnet and admissions-based schools such as Masterman, Creative and Performing Arts, Girard Academic Music Program, Philadelphia High School for Girls and Central High School. This Network includes roughly 950 teachers and 16,500 students.
Domers previously served as the principal of George Washington Carver High School for Engineering and Science where the school became a National Blue Ribbon School under his direction. He was also a high school English and social studies teacher.
Domers received his Bachelor of Arts in psychology with a minor in English from Goucher College, his Master of Science in education from the University of Pennsylvania, and his Doctor of Education in teaching, learning and leadership from the University of Pennsylvania, where his dissertation research focused on how principals create a working environment to support teacher retention.
Dr. Andre’ McLaurin, principal of Erdenheim Elementary School, is appointed to director of educational programming of Hatboro-Horsham School District. McLaurin will replace Dr. Sue King, who is retiring after eight years in the district.
“I am looking forward to partnering with the staff, community and leadership team to provide targeted support and resources that impact the success of students and their experiences in our schools,” said McLaurin. “Hatboro-Horsham is a special place and I am excited for the opportunity to serve in a role that will allow me to contribute to the continued growth and success of the district.”
As a principal of Erdenheim Elementary School in Springfield Township School District, McLaurin has been a highly respected leader for the past 10 years. He has been instrumental in not only leading Erdenheim Elementary School, but also has been deeply connected to leading and implementing several district-wide curricular and programmatic initiatives, including the development of multi-tiered systems of support and PLCs. He also serves as an adjunct professor where he teaches graduate-level courses in “Special Education for School Leaders” and “Literacy in Mathematics Education.”
Before his time at Springfield, he taught elementary in multiple grades up to grade 6 in the North Penn School District and the Charlotte Mecklenburg School District in North Carolina.
He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education from Shippensburg University, a Master of Arts in school administration from Gardner Webb University, and his Doctorate in K-12 educational leadership from Immaculata University, where his dissertation research centered on elementary teachers’ perceptions of student resiliency.
