The Dorchester School District Two Board of Trustees met June 27, 2022, and named Mr. Chad Daugherty as Deputy Superintendent, effective July 11, 2022.

Under his leadership, HCCSC established eLearning before COVID-19, opened a new $20 million elementary school, built a multi-purpose stadium, expanded the Learning Center that houses career and technical education, and developed a culture that led to the International Center for Leadership in Education naming Huntington North High School as a 2022 Model School. Awarded to just 15 schools across our nation, the honor highlights schools’ focus on relationships, rigorous and relevant academics, and educators’ collaboration and high expectations for students.
