West Geauga Local Schools is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Nancy Benincasa as its new Superintendent. Dr. Benincasa is currently serving in her 12th year with the district, beginning in 2013 as the Director of Curriculum and Instruction before being promoted to the role of Assistant Superintendent in 2017. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Superintendent's role.
Dr. Benincasa has a proven track record of success in education and has been instrumental in the district's ongoing achievements. The combined efforts of the current Superintendent Dr. Rich Markwardt and Dr. Benincasa have supported the district's improvement from 133rd in the state to 10th for the last three years. Together, they helped the district find unparalleled success.
We are thrilled to have Dr. Benincasa step into the role of Superintendent. Her dedication to our students, staff, and community is unwavering, and we are confident that she will continue to lead the district in a manner that brings out the best in all of our students.
Dr. Benincasa will officially assume the role of Superintendent on August 1, 2025 with the retirement of Dr. Rich Markwardt.
