The Hillsboro School has a new high school principal ready to come on board next fall.

Terry Baesler, currently the high school principal at Northern Cass, will start work in August.

Baesler was one of 15 who applied for the position and one of four interviewed.

Interim principal Ron Stahlecker, who was hired to replace Kevin Coles, is leaving the Hillsboro School at the end of the school year. 

A graduate of Finley, (N.D.) High School, Baesler graduated from Mayville State University. He received his masters at NDSU in Fargo.

Prior to Northern Cass, he was a science teacher at Fisher, Minn. for four years (2002-2006). He was also an instructor at the University of Mary campus in Fargo.

Baesler, his wife Dori and the couple’s four children live west of Hillsboro near Blanchard. Dori Baesler is employed at Craig Rothfusz’s dental office in Hillsboro.

The new principal said he was excited about coming to Hillsboro.

“The Hillsboro School has a great tradition. There couldn’t be a better place for me or my kids.

“Hillsboro is a great community.”
