  • Brentt Hogan, Hayward Middle School

  • Shawnkeida Whitlow, Lagonda Elementary School (pictured on the left)

Ms. Cole has spent the last 13 years of her education career with the SCSD, most recently serving as a Student Support Facilitator at Kenwood.

Mr. Hogan is also a veteran of the District, with nearly 30 years of experience. He most recently served as the Assistant Principal at Hayward.

Ms. Whitlow is new to the District – however, she brings with her a wealth of leadership skills and new ideas. She comes to the SCSD after serving for 14 years with Dayton Public Schools.

“These principals embody the dedication, passion and forward-thinking that will inspire our students and elevate our community,” said SCSD Superintendent Dr. Bob Hill. “With them at the helm, our schools are poised to soar to new heights, enriching lives and inspiring leaders of tomorrow.”
