BARRY’S BAY – Since November 1, staff and students of Madawaska Valley District High School (MVDHS) have been welcoming and getting used to a new face who has been walking through the halls.
Dean Zadow, who is from Pembroke, has taken over as principal for MVDHS from former principal Dave Bishop.
Zadow is a graduate of Laurentian University. After finishing there, he then went on to get his degree in education from the University of Ottawa.

“I am in my 16th year as an administrator, 10 of which has been at Fellows High School, three of which have been at General Panet High School,” said Zadow. “During those 16 years, nine and a half of them been as a principal and the rest have been as a vice principal,” said Zadow.
