FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Watertown City School District New Principal Appointed at Ohio Elementary School Watertown, NY – Monday, April 14, 2025 – The Watertown City School District is pleased to announce the appointment of Kelsey Schepis as the new Principal of Ohio Elementary School, effective April 15, 2025. Kelsey has served at Ohio Elementary School since the beginning of her tenure with the District and has had the opportunity to shadow two former principals during her time there, gaining valuable insights into the leadership role. This unique transition marks a significant step forward for Ohio Elementary School, where the position of Assistant Principal (AP) has traditionally not been in place. Instead, Kelsey has been serving in a hybrid leadership capacity, combining her assistant principal duties with those of an instructional leader, working closely with teachers and students to improve educational outcomes. Kelsey’s diverse background in education, spanning over 13 years, includes a wide range of roles across the North Country, allowing her to develop a deep understanding of the needs of both students and staff. Her leadership experience has uniquely prepared her to transition into the principal role at Ohio Elementary School, where she has already established strong relationships with the community and school staff. "I am honored to step into the role of Principal at Ohio Elementary School," said Schepis. "I’ve seen firsthand the incredible potential of our students and the dedication of our staff. I look forward to continuing to work with them to create an environment where all students can thrive." Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Larry C. Schmiegel, expressed his enthusiasm about Kelsey’s appointment: "Kelsey has demonstrated exceptional leadership during her time at Ohio Elementary, and I am confident that her transition to principal will only strengthen the school’s positive culture. Her unique experience in this hybrid leadership role positions her perfectly to guide Ohio Elementary into the future, ensuring that all students receive a high-quality education." Kelsey, a native of Clayton, NY, earned her bachelor’s degree from SUNY Cortland, her master’s degree from SUNY Potsdam, and her Certificate of Advanced Studies in Building and District Educational Leadership from SUNY Cortland. Her career in education spans a wide array of roles throughout the North Country, from classroom teaching to educational leadership, giving her a comprehensive understanding of the varied needs of students and faculty.

Lane Assistant Superintendent for Personnel and Student Services 315-785-3720 tlane@watertowncsd.org The Watertown City School District is committed to building a caring culture that fosters lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
