DOWNERS GROVE — Downers Grove North High School has looked within for its new associate principal for operations.

Community High School District 99 officials tapped Ken Sorensen, an assistant principal at the school since 2005, to take over the post. The school board approved the hire at a Monday night meeting, and the change takes effect July 1.

As an assistant principal, Sorensen oversaw student activities and technology. In his new capacity, he will manage "all facets of operations, technology and student discipline as well as personnel management at the school," according to a district release.
