New Faces at WKHS

When we start school on Wednesday there will be lots of new staff members for you to meet and get to know.  Perhaps you have already seen the different names on your schedule and wondered who all of the new staff members are that make up the Kilbourne staff.  We are lucky to have a wonderful group of new staff coming to work with you.  They are passionate about making a positive difference in your life and I am confident you will enjoy having them as teachers.

You may have heard the news at the end of the school year that Ms. Adrean got hired to be the Chief Academic Officer for the district so she will no longer be Principal at WKHS.  Mr. Thomas has taken over as the new principal and is looking forward to getting to know you.

One of our Deans, Mr. Anderson left to be an administrator in Hilliard, but we are lucky enough that Mrs. Lippert will join Mr. Souder as the new dean.  Mrs. Lippert has been a consistent member of the Worthington Kilbourne HS community since her days as a student, teacher and intervention specialist.  She is excited to work with all of you in her new role.

We have several new staff members in the special education department including Mr. Goff, Ms. Linn, Ms. Somerville, Mr. Fibelkorn, Mr. Johnson, and Ms. Mess.

As you know, we had several teachers retire from the math department.  Mr. IsenhourMr. Boso and Mrs. Minor will all teach Math at WKHS this year.  (Some of you may remember Mrs. Minor as she returns to WKHS from TWHS.)

Mrs. Goodwin used to be at WKHS but then spent a few years at TWHS has rejoined the Kilbourne staff as the IB Coordinator and an English teacher. 

Ms. Lee is the new science academic assistant and Mr. Wood will be the new Social Studies academic assistant.  But don't worry, Ms. Elliott and Mr. Freisner will still be in the Teaching and Learning Center along with the new faces.

Mrs. Dominach has changed roles.  She will no longer be in the drop in lab - she is now a secretary in the Counseling Center so you will still be able to see her often.

Mr. Dickson is the new education assistant working in the Drop In Lab.

Please be sure to welcome all of the new staff members to Worthington Kilbourne High School!
