PRIORITIES

EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP

The Forest Hills School Board has faced turbulence in recent years, in part due to a lack of experienced leadership. With 12 years of board service—including eight as President or Vice President—Forest offers unmatched knowledge of district operations and governance. His steady leadership is exactly what the district needs to move forward.

Provide continuity and perspective on complex issues facing the district.
Ensure smooth transitions in leadership, finances, and curriculum.
Lead with a student-first approach rooted in proven decision-making.

COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS

Foster a culture of open communication and mutual respect on the board.
Engage teachers, parents, and community partners in decision-making.
Promote unity and collaboration to achieve the highest outcomes for students.

PROFESSIONALISM & FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

Forest is known for his level-headed, professional approach—even during difficult or contentious debates. He is equally committed to fiscal responsibility, ensuring excellent education at below-average costs to taxpayers.

Uphold a standard of professionalism that reflects positively on the district.
Maintain fiscal discipline, maximizing value for taxpayers.
Safeguard the district’s reputation while focusing on student achievement.

Professional. Experienced. Trusted.

MY MISSION

Forest Hills is more than a district—it is home. It is where generations of my family have received an outstanding education and where I had the privilege of serving thousands of students during 12 years on the school board. That service is rooted in gratitude for all that Forest Hills has given me and a responsibility to give back with integrity, professionalism, and vision.

The past several years have been challenging, but I believe the future can and should be bright. My mission is to establish trust, bring stability, and reaffirm Forest Hills as a destination district in Ohio. With my proven leadership and commitment to students, I am dedicated to ensuring that Forest Hills delivers excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts while remaining a source of pride for the entire community.
