Job Switch for Peter Noonan
Former Centreville High principal leads Fairfax City Schools.
Since coming to Fairfax County Public Schools in July 2001, Clifton resident Peter Noonan has been on an upward trajectory. He went from being an assistant principal to a principal to a school system assistant superintendent. But he left it all in July, yet continued moving upward, as he became the superintendent of the City of Fairfax Schools. “I tossed my hat in the ring when then-Superintendent Ann Monday announced her retirement, the first part of the year,” said Noonan. “I thought it would be a great opportunity. I’d been a principal in the City of Fairfax, at Lanier Middle School, and already knew the relationship between the city and county so well. And I’ve aspired to be superintendent for a long time.” Unlike the huge FCPS, Fairfax City’s school system has just four schools — Lanier Middle, Fairfax High and Daniels Run and Providence elementaries — and it’s appealing to Noonan to “have influence over a smaller group of schools and work with a really great group of principals and teachers.”
