Hickman High School will be getting a new principal next school year.

Mary Grupe will be recommended to the Columbia Board of Education to become the principal for the 2022‐23 school year.

“We look forward to Ms. Grupe’s leadership at Hickman and her commitment to the school’s goals and traditions of integrity, diversity and excellence. She will be a great part of their school community and will do an outstanding job,” said Superintendent Brian Yearwood in a release.

Grupe will replace current Principal Tony Gragnani, who decided earlier this year to move to St. Louis to be closer to family.

Grupe has spent nearly her entire educational career with Columbia Public Schools and is a 2001 graduate of Hickman High School. She has been a teacher, a learning specialist, a case manager, an instructional aide, and is currently an assistant principal at Rock Bridge High School.
