Ross Local Schools Welcomes Two New Administrators

Posted Date: 03/19/26 (05:27 PM)

Ross Local School District is pleased to announce the Board of Education’s approval of two new administrators who will join our team for the upcoming school year.

These appointments are part of a thoughtful transition plan aligned with upcoming retirements and internal leadership shifts. The Morgan Elementary Principal position is open due to Mr. Perry’s retirement, and the Ross Middle School Assistant Principal role follows RMS Principal Mr. Saylor’s retirement and Mr. Rettinger’s transition to RMS Principal. Additionally, with Mrs. Bolin’s upcoming retirement, the district will be reducing one administrative position by eliminating the Ross Intermediate School Principal role as part of this transition.

Mrs. Gina Sansone has been named Principal of Morgan Elementary. Mrs. Sansone joins us from Reading Elementary School, where she served as principal, and previously held administrative roles at Northwest Local School District. She began her career at NWLSD as a kindergarten and second grade teacher (2005–2017) and holds a Master of Education in Reading with a Reading Endorsement, as well as her administrative licensure from Xavier University.

Mrs. Gina Cooper has been named Assistant Principal at Ross Middle School. Mrs. Cooper most recently served as an assistant principal at Hamilton High School’s Freshman Campus and previously worked as a Behavior Specialist at Madison Local Schools. She began her career as a science teacher and later an intervention specialist at Fairfield City Schools. She earned her Master of Education in Special Education from Miami University and holds her administrative licensure.
