Chardon Middle School Principal Adam Tomco will be moving to Chardon High School next year to replace outgoing Principal Mary Pat Pavicic.

Pavicic, formerly an assistant principal at CHS, stepped into the role in February after the resignation of longtime Principal Doug Murray.

In a press release, the district said Tomco has served as CMS principal since 2022, after four years as CMS assistant principal. He also served as business affairs supervisor for the district.

During the Chardon Schools Board of Education May 20 meeting, Superintendent Michael Hanlon praised Tomco’s versatility and willingness to accept challenges. Tomco thanked the board for continuing to provide leadership opportunities.

“This is my fourth leadership position in the district. I think I’ve just finished my seventh year,” Tomco said. “I’ve bounced around a little bit, but I’ve loved every position.”

The district’s press release said Tomco, a Painesville Township resident, has demonstrated outstanding leadership skills, a rapport with staff and students, and a commitment to the district’s mission of high achievement for all students.

Hanlon also extended gratitude to Pavicic, who is departing for a new role as assistant principal at Rocky River High School next year.

“Ms. Pavicic has been a dedicated administrator at the high school, both in the interim position and

previously as an assistant principal at the school since 2022,” he said. “We are thankful for her service and wish her well in her new endeavor.”

The district plans to conduct a search and interview process to find both a new principal for CMS and an assistant principal at the high school.
