With the resignation of Elaine Moyer as principal at Christopher Dock Mennonite High School (Lansdale, PA), the school’s Board of Trustees has implemented a transition process.
- The board’s executive committee has been named as the Transition Committee: Phil Bergstresser, LeeAnn Bergey, Henry Longacre, and Ruth Yoder.
