There is a new principal at Veterans Park Elementary School in Ridgefield. She’s Sheri Prendergast, who served as the school’s interim principal since the start of the school year. Prendergast was named principal on Friday morning at a special Board of Education meeting. Before going to Ridgefield Public Schools, Prendergast spent the past eight years working in the Danbury Public Schools, where she served for five years as an assistant principal at Broadview Middle School, including filling in as principal during an unexpected leave.
