Congratulations to West Geauga High School Principal, Ryan Patti, who was recently named the 2026 High School Principal of the Year for Zone 7 by the Ohio Association of Secondary School Administrators (OASSA). This prestigious award recognizes secondary principals for exceptional leadership, school improvement efforts, and their positive impact on students and staff.
Nominations were submitted by students, staff members, administrators, and colleagues in recognition of Mr. Patti’s dedication and leadership.
Ohio is comprised of ten OASSA zones organized by county. West Geauga is part of Zone 7, which includes seven counties in Northeast Ohio.
As a Zone 7 winner, Mr. Patti is now a finalist in the state-level selection process. Later this year, the OASSA Board of Directors will select four overall winners from this distinguished group of educational leaders to represent the state of Ohio. All Zone Winners will be recognized at the OASSA Fall Conference in October.
Please join us in congratulating Ryan Patti on this well-deserved honor and in recognizing the outstanding leadership and commitment he provides to the students, staff, and school community of West Geauga High School.
