Dr. Robert D. Cronin was appointed North Haven's superintendent at Thursday's Board of Education meeting.

Cronin, currently the superintendent of Region 14 schools , will replace interim superintendent Patricia Brozek, who has filled the position since Sara-Jane Querfield vacated the post in July to pursue a job in the North Branford public school system. A total of sixteen people applied for the superintendent's position.

Cronin served as superintendent of the Naugatuck public schools in the early 2000s prior to current superintendent, John Tindall-Gibson.
