Dr. Maureen Reusche assumed the role of Superintendent for the School District of Haverford Township on July 1, 2015, bringing with her a wealth of experience spanning more than 25 years in the realm of public education. With a profound familiarity with the district and its educational institutions, her insights are as comprehensive as they are distinctive. Dr. Reusche's connection to Haverford Township runs deep, having once been a resident herself and a devoted parent to children who graced the halls of both Oakmont Elementary School and Haverford Middle School. Her personal experience has afforded her an intimate understanding of the exceptional educational standards upheld within Haverford's schools, a perspective that greatly enriches her leadership. In addition to her local insights, Dr. Reusche's grasp of the educational landscape extends to the broader context of Delaware County, offering a strategic advantage to the district. Prior to her tenure in Haverford, she held the esteemed position of Superintendent for the Cherry Hill Public Schools for a period of four years, preceded by a pivotal role as Assistant Superintendent from 2007 to 2011. Her tenure in the Radnor Township School District was equally impactful, serving in diverse capacities including Principal, Director of Curriculum and Technology, and Assistant Superintendent. The breadth of Dr. Reusche's experience, combined with her personal connection to Haverford Township and her broader county-wide perspective, paints a portrait of an accomplished and dedicated educator who is uniquely positioned to propel the School District of Haverford Township toward continued excellence. Dr. Reusche holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from Villanova University, a Masters of Technology in Education from Rosemont College, and a Doctorate in Educational Administration from Widener University.

Dr. John Sanville

John Sanville is a Doylestown, PA native who left for college and started his career as a seventh-grade history teacher in Fairfax County, Virginia in the late 1980s. Shortly after that he met Debbie, his wife. With her encouragement he enrolled in graduate school at Virginia Tech and became a middle school counselor. Within a few years he was back in the classroom - at the University of Virginia – working on his doctorate in school leadership. After considering numerous factors (including that Debbie is a New Yorker) they decided to cross the Mason- Dixon line once and for all. His first position in Pennsylvania was as assistant principal at Marple Newtown High School in Delaware County. Then he went on to become the principal at the same school. They were invaluable learning experiences for him and he carried them forward. In 2007 he came to Unionville Chadds Ford as the Director of Secondary Curriculum. It was an opportunity to work behind the scenes on the core mission of schools - teaching and learning. This time also gave him central office experience and he learned that many people and skillsets are needed to successfully lead a district. As Superintendent (since 2011) he is intimately involved in the entire scope of how UCFSD teaches, supports, and encourages students in academics, sports, the arts, and the many programs and activities that meet their interests. UCF encompasses more than the students, staff and schools - under Dr. Sanville’s direction they are part of the larger community that stretches across fields, in neighborhoods, on quiet lanes, and in two counties.
