The Board of Trustees of the American College of Sofia announced Tuesday the appointment of Paul Johnson to serve as the next President of the College.

He currently serves as Superintendent of Schools, Bismarck, North Dakota, serving 11,000 students. He is President of the North Dakota Education and Standards and Practices Board, appointed by the governor of the State. His distinguished career as a senior administrator led to his selection as the 2008 Superintendent of the Year in North Dakota and as a 2008 finalist (one of four) for the National Superintendent of the Year award in the United States. Dr. Johnson also teaches graduate courses in the areas of school finance and business management on a part-time basis at two universities.
