HENRICK |
Ridgemont Board of Education members hired an internal candidate at their Thursday evening meeting to fill the superintendent vacancy, extending a three-year contract to Sally Henrick, current K-12 principal of curriculum and instruction.
Her contract is effective July 1, 2018, and her salary was set at $98,000 per year. This year school year, she will continue to work in her principal role and in the transition phase with current interim co-superintendents Dr. Suzanne Darmer and Ann Harvey. The interim roles were filled at the beginning of this month following former superintendent Emmy Beeson’s move to the Tolles Career and Technical Center.
“We are excited to bring Sally Henrick into the superintendent’s role,” Board President Dave Copp said in a release. “She has proven her skills and her dedication to our vision. Knowing we can move a candidate into this critical position who will not miss a beat is important to us. She lives in the district and has chosen to make our community her home.”
“Sally Henrick is an excellent choice for Ridgemont’s next superintendent,” Dr. Darmer said. “In addition to her devotion to Ridgemont Schools, she is competent, caring and student-focused. Sally has been instrumental in developing Ridgemont’s existing directional system. Her heart is in this work.”
Henrick worked as a teacher for seven years, with six of those being for Ridgemont Local Schools as a fifth-grade teacher. She also served as Hardin Northern Schools’ K-6 principal for six years, and will have served for three years in her current role once she takes over the superintendent position next year.
“We have grown so much as a district, from our new 21st century building to the instruction and learning opportunities that happen within it,” said Henrick, who holds a bachelor of arts in agriculture from The Ohio State University and a masters in education and her superintendent’s license from The University of Findlay.
