(Milan, Ind.) - Milan Elementary School has a new principal. 

The Milan Community Board of School Trustees approved the hiring of Travis Rohrig at a special session on Wednesday.

He will fill the principal vacancy left by Cinda Ahlrich, who recently accepted the role of Director of Accelerated Learning for grades K-6 in Milan. 

Superintendent, Jane Rogers says, “I believe Mr. Rohrig is a strong addition to our administrative team. He displays a love of learning and a desire to help everyone be the best they can be.” 

Rohrig's first day on the job will be July 1.
