Claysburg-Kimmel Superintendent Announces Retirement This Summer

Claysburg-Kimmel School District Superintendent Darren McLaurin is retiring effective this summer.

McLaurin informed the board of his decision last week, saying it was time he moves on.

McLaurin was hired to take the reins at Claysburg-Kimmel in December 2017 following the retirement of Royce Ann Boyd.

Prior to landing at Claysburg, McLaurin had been at the Westmont Hilltop School District for 19 years serving as a business education teacher, athletic director, assistant high school principal and principal at Westmont Hilltop Middle School.

He then took over as elementary principal in the Cambria Heights School District followed by a stint as superintendent at Harmony Area School District.

McLaurin’s retirement is effective July 15.
