BMU welcomed Emilie Knisley back as the principal on December 1st. Mrs. Knisley started teaching Language Arts at BMU in 2005, later becoming Blue Mountain’s Pre K-12 principal. She then served as BMU’s superintendent, later becoming OESU’s superintendent as a result of the Act 46 merger. She stayed in this role for 4 years, but decided that she missed being in a school setting.  Once she decided to give up her position in OESU, John Barone transitioned from BMU‘s 7-12 principal to OESU’s assistant superintendent, and Randy Gawel moved from assistant superintendent to OESU’s  superintendent. These changes allowed Knisley to return as BMU;s 7-12 principal after spending a 6-month vacation with her two sons.  During her vacation, Bruce Labs filled in as the 7-12 principal.
