Wilmington High School principal Eric Tracy said that while he's excited to be one of two candidates for the Hamilton-Wenham principal job, it's still early in the process.

Eric Tracy is "excited and humbled" to be selected as a finalist for the Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School principal’s position, he told Wilmingon Patch, a sister publication to Hamilton-Wenham Patch.
