(KMZA)--A new Nemaha Central superintendent has been named.

The Nemaha Central USD 115 Board of Education, in a special meeting Friday afternoon, approved a contract with Tavis Desormiers, effective July 1.

Desormiers has served as superintendent of USD 208 Trego Community Schools, in Wakeeney, since 2018. Prior to that, he served as an elementary principal, middle school athletic director,and middle school teacher and coach, all in Trego County.

Nemaha Central Board President Jason Hammes, in a release, said the Board is very excited to find someone with the experience and passion Desormiers brings to the table. Hammes added he is a life long educator with proven results.

Desormiers, a Silver Lake native, received his master's degree in educational administration from Kansas State University in 2005 and his bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Washburn University in 1996.

Desormiers was among three candidates interviewed by the Board. The other two candidates were Shane Clark, who currently serves as the district level coordinator in Southern Lyon County USD 252; and Trevor Ashcraft, who currently serves as USD 380 curriculum director and Vermillion principal.

Desormiers said he's excited to start working with the communities that make up Nemaha Central.

He will replace Darrel Kohlman, who has been superintendent at Nemaha Central since the 2010-11 school year. Kohlman announced his resignation last month after a 32-year career in education.
