Monticello, Roxboro Schools Announce Leadership

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH - Monticello and Roxboro middle schools will return to their own renovated campuses over the summer. In anticipation of the move, the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Schools announced the leadership teams for both schools.

The Roxboro and Monticello schools have shared space at the Wiley campus for the past two years, while crews improved their individuals schools. The district anticipates construction being completed at both facilities over the summer, letting staff move in by August.

Rachael Coleman will be principal of Roxboro Middle School. Assistant principal will be Denise Lackey. Coleman is currently the campus administrator at Heights Middle School, and served as principal at Noble Elementary for eight years.

"I am delighted to serve the Roxboro Middle School community as the instructional leader,” said Coleman. “This past year I have had the pleasure of building relationships with the students, staff, and parents. I am looking forward to working together to continue our tradition of high expectations and academic excellence.”

Current Roxboro principal Patrick McNichols will join the Student Services team in central office as Coordinator of Student Services.

Monticello's leadership team won't change in the move, with Jeff Johnston serving as principal working alongside assistant principal Brigitte Pronty. Johnston has been Monticello's principal for the past two years, and Pronty joined the school last fall.

“Ms. Pronty and I are excited to be a part of the Monticello family and look forward to working with our students and community,” said Johnston. “Our motto is ‘Monticello - Where learners become leaders.' We are committed to making that vision a reality each and every day.”
