The Goshen Local School District Board of Education approved Mrs. Ashley Andrews as the new Principal of Spaulding Elementary School following the appointment of current Spaulding principal Mr. Tom Turner as the new Director of Student Services. Mr. Turner is transitioning to the role of Director as a result of the retirement of long time administrator Mrs. Nancy Spears.
Please join us in wishing Mrs. Nancy Spears much success in her retirement from Goshen Local Schools. During her time she served as High School Assistant Principal and High School Principal and most recently as Director of Special Education. Mrs. Spears has decided to retire on May 29th, 2020.
She has many activities she plans to fill her new found time with, gardening, traveling and caring for her expected grandchild.
The district would like to extend our thanks for her leadership, knowledge, and passion for the Goshen Local School District. We are going to miss you!
Mr. Tom Turner will be replacing Mrs. Spears.
He takes over this role after spending 8 years as Principal of Spaulding Elementary School.
Mr. Turner stated, “ I will miss the students, staff and day to day connections being principal provided, however I am excited and eager to serve the staff, students, and community in this new role. Besides, it’s nice to know that Spaulding isn’t that far away for a visit.”

“From everything I have witnessed and researched Goshen Local Schools is the place to be. There is a focus on culture, which includes a whole child focus that is supported by technology and a love of learning.
