Yesterday, DCPS announced that Assistant Principal Devario Hawkins will serve as Murch’s Interim Principal for the 2026–27 school year following Principal Cebrzynski’s retirement at the end of this school year.
With more than 15 years of experience in education, including five years as Murch’s Assistant Principal, Mr. Hawkins has played a key role in strengthening instruction, student support, and family engagement. He is committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment where students, staff, and families feel valued and able to succeed.
The interim position is a one-year appointment, and DCPS will engage the Murch community in a full principal selection process in Spring 2027.
Please join us in congratulating Mr. Hawkins on his new role and wishing him success as he leads Murch into the next chapter!
