As Manhattan High bids welcome to students both old and new, it says goodbye to someone who has walked its halls much longer than those students have.
Greg Hoyt has announced that he plans to retire at the end of the 2018-2019 school year after 16 years of teaching and six years as principal at MHS.
Though it is his last year at the school, Hoyt still intends to hard for his students and faculty while maintaining his leadership role.
Hoyt has no concrete plans as to what he will do after his time at school has ended, though he does know that whatever he does will be in Manhattan.
Though it is still unclear as to who will become the new principal, Hoyt predicts that the district will announce their hire some time around winter break. He also believes that the school will adjust to having a new principal, though it may be difficult.
Hoyt is confident in the teachers who remain at MHS and their ability to carry on the legacy of the school while becoming better acquainted with new leadership.
While it's always hard to leave a place that has been a part of someone's life for so long, Hoyt believes that change is for the better and will continue to ensure a great school year for all.
