LANGHORNE, PA — A Neshaminy schools graduate and 33-year veteran of the school district has been named its new superintendent. Rob McGee will take over as head of the Neshaminy School District on July 1. He'll replace Superintendent Joseph Jones III, who will be leaving at the end of his contract to return to the classroom as a math teacher in the Philadelphia School District. McGee currently serves as Neshaminy's director of secondary education. McGee's five-year contract will pay $196,000 per year. A graduate of the former Maple Point High School, McGee earned a bachelor's degree in education from Shippensburg University in 1987, then a master's degree at the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science in 1990. He earned his doctorate from Drexel University in 2006. His career at Neshaminy includes 20 years as a math teacher, beginning in 1987 at Carl Sandburg Middle School. Since then, he has served as an instructional coach, assistant principal and principal at Neshaminy High School. He has held his current position since 2018. "In addition to Dr. McGee's prominence as an educator and district leader, his reputation in support of our students, staff and the community through positive interaction will continue to grow as superintendent," said school board President Stephen Pirritano. "The board is very proud to nominate one of Neshaminy's own to lead our district into the future." Pirritano called McGee's agreement to a contract with no annual pay increases "puts district needs first." McGee called the appointment an honor "and, honestly, a bit humbling." "I look forward to working with students, staff, parents and the community to secure Neshaminy's legacy in the future," he said.
