Former Westbrook Superintendent Reza Namin, who resigned in March, is one of five finalists for a national superintendent-of-the-year award.
The National Association of School Superintendents announced the finalists Thursday. The other four are from Colorado, South Carolina, Louisiana and Wisconsin.
Theresa Daem, the association’s executive director, wrote in a news release that Namin’s outstanding achievements in Westbrook included the development of a strategic plan for the district, reduction in drop-out rates and the initiation of virtual high school courses.
Namin, who came to Westbrook two years earlier from the Ralph C. Mahar School District in Orange, Mass., announced in March he accepted a job as superintendent of the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School District in central Massachusetts.
Longtime Westbrook High School Principal Marc Gousse has been the interim superintendent.
