BRODHEAD - The Brodhead School Board announced that Leonard (Lenny) Lueck, current principal of Brodhead High School, has been selected as the new superintendent for the School District of Brodhead, beginning July 1, according to a school news release Tuesday.
Lueck will succeed Chuck Deery, who will retire June 30 after serving as superintendent for 12 years.
"Mr. Lueck has already demonstrated the strong leadership qualities and an understanding of the new initiatives needed to move our district forward," said Teresa Earleywine, board president. "We are confident that Mr. Lueck will continue the many fine things we have going in Brodhead and help us identify ways to become even better. He is an established member of the Brodhead community and is excited to be promoted to this position. We know we can count on the administrative team and Mr. Deery to ensure a smooth transition."
Lueck has worked in education for 25 years, including the last eight years in Brodhead. He obtained his teaching degree from UW-Platteville, a master's degree from Viterbo University, an administrative certification from Marion College and a superintendent's license from St. Mary's University.
The board came to a unanimous decision to offer the superintendent position to Lueck, after a review of candidate qualifications and input from interview teams.
The district conducted a formal search process for the superintendent vacancy. Twenty applications from around the state were received for the position. Four candidates went through formal interviews last week with three committees comprised of all members of the board and representatives of the administrative team, teaching and support staffs and the community.
