Eastern Heights Families,
My name is Mr. Todd Church and I am thrilled to be coming back to Eastern Heights this fall in the role of assistant principal. I have a long history in Elyria as it is my hometown, I am an Elyria High School alumni and have been working in the district since 2005 as a teacher. I have spent time at Eastern Heights, Elyria High School, and most recently at Westwood.
It is very apparent to me as I get started that there are so many great things happening at Eastern Heights so my goal is to offer support to Mrs. Cerrito, Mr. Keefe, and staff to help move us forward.
I look forward to meeting everyone soon!
Sincerely,
Todd Church
