BREAKING: Principal Szcinski leaving West Orange High

Douglas Szcinski, the principal of West Orange High School for the last three years, has announced that he is leaving the Winter Garden school. He is taking a position in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois.

“The last three years have been the most amazing of my 17-year educational career,” Szcinski said in a post on the school’s Facebook page. “Thank you to the students, teachers, staff, parents and community for allowing me to lead the greatest school in the state and for accepting me and my family into the West Orange County community. I am forever grateful for my time in Warrior Nation.”

Szcinski became principal of West Orange in 2013, coming from Freedom Middle School. This school year, he implemented an all-digital-learning environment.
