I have been fortunate to work at Lakeview throughout all of my years in education. After graduating from Bethany College, I returned to Lakeview in 2006 as a special education teacher, then served as elementary school counselor, Director of Federal Programs, Director of Food Services, and a building principal at Lakeview Middle School. As a proud Lakeview graduate, I have both spirit and passion for the community and am a fierce advocate for public education and our schools. My journey from student to superintendent speaks to my commitment to lifelong learning and my unwavering dedication to serving the needs of students and families. My experiences in the district have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our schools. I believe in empowering educators and families to work together to create a supportive and enriching learning environment. I am committed to building upon the district’s rich legacy of academic excellence and fostering communication and involvement with Bazetta and Cortland communities. It's always a great day to be a Bulldog!

I have worked in the Lakeview Local School District for 20 plus years serving as a teacher, coach, Assistant Principal, and currently as head Principal of the high school. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Youngstown State University and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and Principal's License in Administration from Ashland University. My wife and I have two children in the Lakeview Local School District. I look forward to working with your kids every day and thank you for your support! Go Dogs!

I have worked in the Lakeview Local School District since 2005 and have been serving as the LHS Assistant Principal since 2015. In my career at Lakeview, I have also taught high school mathematics, worked as the district's Athletic Director, and served as the middle school's Dean of Students. In addition, I was formerly the head high school baseball coach and an assistant on the football staff. My wife, Cara, and I live here in the community and our two children attend Lakeview Local Schools.

While this is my first year at Lakeview, I have served in several roles in my career that include teaching social studies, middle and high school counseling, as well as assistant and head principal.  I am a proud 2002 graduate of Lakeview and elated to be back home.  My wife, Casey, and I live in the community and have 3 children, two of which currently attend Lakeview Local Schools and one who will in the future.  While Middle School can be challenging, I feel our impact as educators and parents is pivotal in these years as we help students find their footing socially, emotionally and academically.  I look forward to working with you and your student/s.  We are….. Lakeview!

This is a particularly exciting time for me and my family, not just because it is my first year as principal, but because I get to return home to Lakeview. I graduated from Lakeview in 2006 and am so grateful to be able to give back to a school district that provided me with such a tremendous education. My wife Amy and I live in the community with our three children, two of which attend Lakeview Schools and our third will be soon.

Before joining Lakeview in this leadership role, I spent many years working in education as both a teacher and as a curriculum & instruction supervisor. I hold a Master's Degree in School Psychology from Kent State University and have obtained a principal license through Notre Dame College. It is through these experiences that I have built a strong knowledge of the education system and the importance of fostering a positive learning environment.

My top priority at Lakeview Elementary is to ensure every student feels safe, supported, and excited to learn. We will be working hard to create a welcoming atmosphere where all students can thrive. I believe open communication is key, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support!

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you back for another exciting academic year. First and foremost, I want to express my commitment to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for all our students. Working closely with Mrs. Handrych, our dedicated teaching staff, and the entire school community, my goal is to ensure that every student feels safe, respected, and empowered to excel academically and personally. Throughout the school year, I will be involved in various aspects of student life, including academic programs, student discipline, extracurricular activities, and overall school improvement initiatives. I encourage open communication between parents, guardians, teachers, and administrators, as we all play a vital role in the success of our students. I am truly excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in the upcoming school year. Together, we can create a nurturing and inspiring environment for our students to thrive academically and personally. Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your child. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working closely with you and your child throughout the year.

I have had the pleasure to work in the Lakeview Local School District since 2007.  Initially, I served as the Elementary School Counselor before transitioning to my current position as the Student Services Supervisor in 2013.  My previous educational experience includes working as an Intervention Specialist in Bedford City School District and Weathersfield Local School District.  I earned my Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Education from Youngstown State University in Elementary Education (1-8) and Special Education (K-12).  I continued my education at Westminster College and earned a Master’s of Education Degree in School Counseling and post M. ED. licensure in School Principal (PK-12) and Pupil Services Administration. My role as a district supervisor has provided me with the unique opportunity to witness first-hand the challenges, growth, and achievements Lakeview students have made throughout their education.  I feel very fortunate to supervise an exceptional staff and to have the opportunity to work with the students and families in this outstanding community.

I started my career in Technology and Education in 1999. I hold a Bachelors and a Masters in Information Science from Kent State University. I have truly enjoyed working with teachers and students to enhance the environment for learning. I joined the Lakeview team in 2011 and have been thrilled to be a Bulldog ever since! Previously I worked 12 years at NEOMIN, an Information Technology Center, that is dedicated to technlogy support and integration for schools in Trumbull and Ashtabula counties. My husband and I have 3 children. Two of our children are Lakeview graduates and another is destined for the class of 2027!
