Napier Boys’ High School will have its third new leader in less than a decade after current headmaster Jarred Williams’ resignation to take up the appointment of principal at Hamilton Boys’ High School.
His new appointment was announced in Hamilton on Tuesday and confirmed by Williams in an email to the school community, and he will depart at the end of term 1 in 2024.
He will have served three months short of three years since he arrived in 2021 to replace Matt Bertram, who in 2016 had replaced Ross Brown, who had been headmaster since 1997.
Williams has been at Napier Boys’ High during a major and ongoing building project, with a range of new suites and other facilities for modern education needs.
