New principals, including one who is leaving his post as a superintendent of a Connecticut school district, have been appointed to two Darien elementary schools — Ox Ridge School and Hindley School. Each appointment is effective July 1. Chris Melillo, appointed to run Ox Ridge School, is leaving his current position as Newtown superintendent of schools. Ross Cooper, an educator with experience teaching in and administering elementary schools, research into technology in education and the author of two books on “project based learning,” has been appointed the next principal of Hindley School, effective July 1. — This article is based on an announcement from Darien Public Schools
