Megan Winston, a vice principal at Xenia High School, is expected to be approved at this week’s regular Yellow Springs school board meeting as the next principal at Mills Lawn Elementary School.
District Superintendent Terri Holden confirmed Tuesday afternoon, after notifying the Mills Lawn staff, that she plans to recommend Winston to the school board during their meeting Thursday, May 13.
Winston will fill the position to be vacated by current Principal Michelle Person, who announced in a letter dated March 31, after a year with the district, that she would be resigning effective June 30 for personal and business reasons.
Two finalists have been named in the search for a new principal at Mills Lawn Elementary School.
The school district announced earlier this week that a 12-member interview committee had selected Cheryl Lowe, a fifth-grade teacher at the school, and Megan Winston, an assistant principal at Xenia High School, as the top candidates.
Each candidate is scheduled to give public presentations and answer community members’ questions this week, with Lowe up first Wednesday, May 5, and Winston following on Thursday, May 6. Both events will be livestreamed and posted online on the district’s YouTube channel. District Superintendent Terri Holden said she anticipates making a hiring recommendation at the next school board meeting Thursday, May 13.

A lamb named Waylon helped save this Houston teacher s life. Now, she inspires future generations.

At first, Waylon didn’t look like much.
He was one of about a dozen Suffolk lambs purchased by a Bellaire High School agriculture teacher in 1995 and was randomly assigned to Andra Collins-Johnson when she was a restless junior. A career in animal husbandry or otherwise working in agriculture had never crossed her mind, and it seemed like a foreign concept for her in Third Ward.
Raising Waylon and spending long hours at Bellaire’s barn, however, awoke something in the now 40-year-old.
“The thing that stood out most to me is that I felt peace,” Collins-Johnson said. “There was a lot of space and pasture at the barn, even though there were freeways around it. I would stand out there and just look I would look and think about what to do with the rest of my life. It gave me structure and made me feel safe.”
