At its June 16 meeting, the Canton Local Board of Education named Larry Tausch the next superintendent of Canton Local Schools!

Tausch brings nearly 30 years of experience in education and leadership. He has served as principal of Northwest High School since 2016, following four years as principal of Northwest Middle School. Prior to that, he was principal at Apple Creek Elementary. From 1995 to 2009, Tausch taught language arts in Plain Local Schools and coached multiple sports, including wrestling, track, and football.

“We are excited to welcome Larry to Canton Local Schools,” said Board President Tom Kovesci. “His proven leadership, commitment to students and well-rounded experience make him the right person to lead our district forward.”

“I am honored to join the Canton Local community and look forward to building strong relationships with students, staff and families,” said Tausch. “Together, we will continue the district’s positive momentum and focus on preparing every student for success.”
