(KMZA)-- A new Nemaha Central High School principal has been hired.
The USD 115 Board of Education has announced the selection of Ben Scism for the position. According to a news release, a two-year contract was accepted Wednesday and will be approved at a future Board meeting.
Scism is currently a math teacher at Nemaha Central Middle School in Seneca, a position he’s held for two years. Prior to that, he taught middle school math and social studies at B & B Junior High School in Baileyville for ten years. During his time at B & B, he also coached multiple sports both at the middle and high school levels.
Scism will replace Pat McKernan who will become the superintendent and elementary principal for the Troy school district on July 1st.
He says he will focus on the students and provide them with the best educational opportunities possible. By creating a positive environment for both students and staff, Scism says he intends to add value to the district as an administrator.
Scism holds degrees from Fort Hays State University and Doane College. He and his wife, Kelsey, have four children.
Board President Jason Hammes says the Board is very excited to see one of their own have an opportunity for professional growth within the district. He says the Board feels very confident in the ability of Scism to lead the district’s students and staff.
