Tommy Henley, who was hired in 2019 to right the ship at a struggling Lancaster city charter school, is leaving his post to take an administrative role in the School District of Lancaster.
Henley, principal and CEO of La Academia Partnership Charter School, will join Abie Benitez as the 11,000-student school districtâs second director of schools, the Lancaster school board confirmed in a vote Tuesday night. Together, Henley and Benitez will supervise and evaluate principals throughout the district. The job opened up after former director of schools Josh Keene became assistant superintendent of the Annville-Cleona School District.
Henley, 27, takes the job two years after moving to Lancaster as a self-proclaimed âturnaroundâ principal and taking over La Academia, perennially one of the countyâs lowest-performing schools.
