Wareham High School Principal Scott Palladino, who was a finalist for the job of principal at Plymouth North High School, will be staying in Wareham, as another candidate was selected for the job.

It was announced on Thursday that Taunton High School Associate Headmaster Peter Parcellin was chosen to be the next principal of Plymouth North High School.

During Palladino's final interview for the position on Jan. 11, he told parents and school faculty that he loves being a principal at Wareham High School and that if he was not offered the position at Plymouth North High School, he would remain in Wareham.

"This is the only job I'd leave Wareham for," said Palladino, who currently lives in South Plymouth. "After this you won't see my name in any newspaper as a finalist for any other position."
