New WGHS Principal Named
The West Geauga Local School District is pleased to announce that Mr. Jay Bishop will return to West Geauga High School as the new principal beginning in the 2013-14 school year.

He brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to the district and to the community which will serve its students well.
“I am excited to be leading a building that I have been a part of for 18 years. This is a wonderful community where all staff, students and parents value education. I come into the position with high expectations that West Geauga High School will be one of the best high schools in the state,” he commented.
