Stillwater Area High School issued the following announcement.
Two new directors have been hired to help guide the district and lead the operations and finance offices. Mark Drommerhausen has been selected as the district’s new Director of
Operations and John Thein has been hired as the Director of Finance.
Drommerhausen has worked in the district for more than 20 years as a teacher and administrator, most recently as the principal of Brookview Elementary. During his tenure he has
also led Lily Lake and Andersen elementary schools. He spent two years working in the district office as a principal on special assignment overseeing the construction of Brookview
Elementary and addition at Stillwater Area High School. He also helped lead two attendance boundary processes for the district. In his new role, Drommerhausen will oversee
facilities and operations, transportation and nutrition services.
Thein is a retired superintendent and experienced school leader. He retired from the Roseville Area Public Schools in 2015 after serving nearly 30 years as deputy superintendent
and superintendent. In recent years he’s filled several interim superintendent positions around the state. From March to July of this year, Thein served as Stillwater’s interim
executive director of finance and operations. In his new role Thein will oversee the district’s finance and enrollment offices.
“Both John and Mark bring great experience and knowledge to these important positions,” said Malinda Lansfeldt, interim superintendent. “They know our community well and
understand the many opportunities and challenges ahead of us. We’re excited to have them both join our team.”
An interim principal will be hired as soon as possible to finish out the year at Brookview Elementary School.
