Pomeroy, currently Chief Academic Officer at Upper Arlington City Schools, brings a broad base of experience, a collaborative mindset, and a student-centered approach that aligns with the district’s goals.
Board President Melissa Harris expressed the board’s enthusiasm about the appointment. “We followed a thorough process.

A Search for the Right Fit
The superintendent search, led by the Ohio School Boards Association, drew a diverse and talented group of candidates from across the state. In the end, Pomeroy’s open and collaborative leadership style, combined with his dedication to innovation and academic excellence, stood out.
“The search allowed us to reassure ourselves that Keith is the right person for this position at this time,” Harris said. “He will be highly visible in our schools, and we believe his presence will resonate with our students, staff, and community.”
