New to Cranberry High School

Within the year of 2019, Cranberry High School has made significant strides towards superior education whilst also upgrading the environment these students and staff develop in. In order to do so, however, more hands were required to complete each task with the best results. When going about daily duties between classes, keep an eye out for these soon-to-be-familiar faces.

Mr. Shawn Deemer

With the departure of Mrs. Daugherty, a new assistant principal was needed to fill her shoes; lo and behold, Mr. Deemer arrived. For his new position, Mr. Deemer spends a sizable amount of time working out curriculum with other instructors, dealing with student discipline, and any other daily tasks Mr. Smith may throw his way. When he first visited Cranberry back in May of 2019, he felt that both students and staff alike seemed welcoming with beaming smiles on their faces. 

“It was a wonderful atmosphere to come to,” Deemer explained. 

Overall, Mr. Deemer is enjoying every day, and is most looking forward to working as a “Berry” by making connections with each student and teacher. 

Miss Kylee Callander

Miss Callander, a former student teacher at Cranberry, is a life skills teacher for students in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade. She is in charge of covering all subjects alongside life skills such as culinary arts and laundry. As previously mentioned, she completed her student teaching with Mr. Irwin a few years prior, and upon hearing about an opening for her current position, she contacted him once more to discuss her interest. Callander finds the change of her previous mascot (the Falcons) to a Cranberry Berry quite amusing, but is happy to be here amongst the school’s cheerful, welcoming community. 

“My big goal this year is to be kind. Kids aren’t always kind to each other, and I want them to see the potential in everyone, disability or not,” Miss Callander stated, “I have to make a difference with the kids.”
