(KNZA)--A new Superintendent has been hired to lead Doniphan West USD 111 in Highland.

The USD 111 Board of Education announced in a release Wednesday the appointment of Heather Ball to the position.

Ball currently serves as an elementary principal in Deerfield USD 216, and brings 25 years of educational experience to her new role.

Ball is nearing completion of a doctorate degree in leadership at Baker University. She also has a Master of Science Degree in Special Education and a Bachelor of General Studies degree in Elementary Education from Fort Hays State University.

She was among three candidates interviewed for the position.

The board said they are confident Ball is the right leader to guide the district into a bright and successful future.
