Administrators Plan for School Year
Throughout August, the administrators from the West Geauga Schools met at the board office to discuss expectations and new strategies for the coming school year.
“We want every student to grow academically and to have the best well-rounded education possible,” said Superintendent Richard Markwardt. “As a district this year, our motto is “On Our Way to the Top.”
Over three days, the administrators studied legislative requirements and Ohio Department of Education mandates, and examined new and varied instructional models. Presenters included administrators and teachers from West Geauga Local Schools.
Girls Soccer Anticipates Great Season
The West Geauga High School girls soccer team has started off the season with a 2-0 record.
Head coach Kori Chapic commented, “I am excited to see our sport get started because both my assistant Danny and I have seen a lot of improvement from the girls this preseason.”
Chapic is looking forward to seeing the team achieve the goals that they set out before the start of the season.
She said, “This year I hope that the girls can reach their goals they have set for the season, personally and collectively. Essentially, we would like to improve from our record last year while setting new standards for this season.”
With wins against Mayfield and Orange already established, the team will face more difficult opponents after Labor Day.
Said Chapic, “Soccer is a metaphor for life and if you can find a way to face adversity, improve, learn, and cooperate with others, you will be able to apply this metaphor into the real world.”
Volleyball Leads with Nine Seniors
The West Geauga volleyball season has started with veteran players bringing their experience to the court.
Head coach Amber Baker remarked, “West G volleyball is off to a great start; we are led by nine seniors. We are 2-1 and we are hoping to make a strong showing in our conference.”
The volleyball program has benefitted from consistent leadership and player development.
Baker said, “We have very strong hitters and a veteran back row so the sky’s the limit for this group of Wolverines.”
