“It’s a New Day for The Richmond Heights Way”

Dear Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

I am humbled by the opportunity to serve as the new superintendent of Richmond Heights Local Schools. Having been a part of this community for nine years, both as Assistant Superintendent and Principal of the Secondary School, I am deeply committed to our shared vision of becoming a first-choice school district. Our goal is to create an educational environment that is characterized by equity, fostering safe, respectful, and responsible relationships while nurturing a sense of pride in oneself, our school, and our community.

As I embark on this new role, my immediate focus is on building stronger connections with all members of our school community, including those whom I may not have had the privilege to meet personally. Your feedback and insights are invaluable in shaping the future priorities for our Spartans. I am eager to engage in meaningful conversations and collaborative efforts that will propel us forward on our journey to excellence. Together, we will continue to uphold our commitment to thoughtful, student-centered education and maintain the trust that the community has placed in our schools. Your support and dedication are essential as we work together to achieve our goals.

Marnisha Brown
