Heather Hoyer has been selected to serve as secondary assistant superintendent for Great Falls Public Schools, taking Tom Moore’s spot when he becomes superintendent on July 1.

Hoyer’s appointment requires board approval, but this week a team of district and community members interviewed four candidates from a pool of nine applicants for the position that is currently held by Moore. The committee selected Hoyer as their recommendation to the board for the position.
