(Atlantic, Iowa) – A little less than a year after he took over the lead role as Atlantic Middle School Principal, Scot Aden is leaving for a district closer to where his roots are. He’s leaving the District for a position as Principal in the Carroll School District.

Aden grew up in the Lidderdale area, and accepted the position to be closer to family. Aden came to Atlantic after leaving his position with the Cherokee Community School District. He took over as AMS Principal on July 1, 2022, and succeeded former Middle School Principal Josh Rasmussen, who accepted the job of shared Superintendent for the Adair-Casey-Guthrie Center School Districts.

Mr. Scot Aden

The Atlantic School Board will act on accepting Aden’s resignation during their meeting March 29th.
