The Ponca City Public School District announces that Carla Fry, principal at Trout Elementary, has been selected as one of three finalists for the 2019 Oklahoma Association of Elementary School Principals (OAESP) Administrator of the Year, which is a part of the National Distinguished Principal process.

A selection committee comprising past National Distinguished Principal winners and the OAESP board members reviewed nominations submitted to the committee, and Fry was selected as a finalist.

The selection committee will make a visit to Trout Elementary to tour the building and conduct interviews with staff members and community leaders to gain insight into the day-to-day operations and the overall culture and climate at Trout Elementary.

“The PCPS District is very proud of Mrs. Fry and hope that our community will join in our celebration of this great honor and recognition,” Superintendent Shelley Arrott said.
