AUBURN -- Auburn High School has a new principal.

In an unanimous vote, Brian Morgan was appointed by the Auburn Enlarged City School District Board of Education Tuesday as the high school's new principal effective April 28 at a prorated salary of $95,000.

Morgan, an Auburn High School graduate who has spent the last eight years as principal of Moravia High School, set a goal to lead a large high school.

"For it to be Auburn has made it that much better," he said.

Morgan, 36, is filling the post left vacant in December when David Roth resigned to accept a position at the Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District. Gordon Klumpp, former superintendent from the Groton Central School District, has filled in as interim principal since January.

Morgan said he is going to miss Moravia and the relationships he cultivated with the district office, school board, teachers, staff and students.
