SRO Prepares for School Year

Mark Rich, West Geauga’s school resource officer, just returned from additional training to help him and the staff prepare for the upcoming school year.

He said, “The training I attended was for the OSROA (Ohio School Resource Association). It was a three-day training that covered vaping, electronic cigarettes, the digital lives of students, drug awareness, Ohio trends and emerging threats. In addition, the training covered a school resource officer’s role in addressing mental health disorders.”

The training will help Rich and the staff to better serve the West G students at all levels.

Marching Band Trip to Disney

The West Geauga High School marching band will be enjoying travel this year. In addition to a trip to The Ohio State University to participate in Skull Sessions, the band will travel to Florida in the fall.

Band director Jason Branch commented, “The West Geauga Marching Band will perform at the Magic Kingdom, and the Wolverettes are participating in a dance clinic. The band is participating in a performance clinic and recording studio activity in November.”

Travel and training help the musicians to develop their skills and prepare for more advanced performances.
