(CONSTANTINE) – Constantine Public Schools has a new Superintendent, and it’s someone familiar with the School District.

During a special meeting Thursday, the Constantine Board of Education appointed Patrick Breen to be Superintendent. He has been the interim Superintendent for the last seven months.

Breen has been with the Constantine Schools for four years. He has served as the High School Principal and the Curriculum Director and Assistant Superintendent. Breen has been in education for almost 20 years.

Breen replaces Joseph Holloway as Superintendent. In August, the Constantine Board of Education announced that Holloway had been placed on leave, but didn’t reveal why because it is a confidential and personal matter.
