Mr. Conrad, principal at Andover High since 2015, began his career as an art teacher at Timberlane Regional High School in New Hampshire. Before Andover, he was the principal of Rockport Middle and High School.

Bedford hasn’t undertaken a full superintendent search since 1981 when Joseph Buckley was appointed to the position. Subsequent superintendents were Dr. Maureen Lacroix, and then Sills, who moved up from Bedford High School principal.
