Steve Schad has been named the new principal at Roger Bacon High School. Schad, 54, will begin his new duties in July, replacing interim principal Rick Sollman. A 1975 St. Xavier High School graduate, Schad said he’s looking forward to his new job. He’s been principal at North Adams High School in Adams County the past four years and was a teacher and administrator with the Batavia district prior to that. “My father, James, is a 1945 graduate of Roger Bacon and is thrilled that I have the job,” Schad said. “He’s almost as excited as I am.” Another member of the family is pleased as well, despite the obvious school rivalry. Tony Schad, Steve’s younger brother, is the development services director for St. X and a 1981 graduate. “It will be fun when we play one another in sports,” the younger Schad said. “I’m pleased and I know he is, too, to be part of the GCL. “Education and Roger Bacon serve him well.” Schad didn’t launch his career in education until after a 20-year stint with the Marines. He retired in 1999.

Our Lady of Grace eighth-grade students Sarah Dressman, Kourtney Duggins and Kevin Berling took turns asking Bishop-elect Joseph Binzer questions about his life and growing up in Groesbeck.

Steve Schad will assume his new duties as Roger Bacon High School principal in July. “I love teaching and as an administrator, I think I can teach as well,” he said. “This isn’t a school that needs
fixed in any fashion. “Once I start in July, I will be learning the traditions that make this such a great place to be.”
Our Lady of Grace Catholic School had a special visitor May 13. Bishop-elect Joseph Binzer, who considers himself “just a kid from Groesbeck” visited the school he had attended. Our Lady of Grace is the threeyear-old regional school that was formed from the parishes of Assumption, St. Ann, St. Margaret
Mary, and Little Flower. The OLG campus rests on the property of St. Ann in Colerain Township. Binzer spoke to the entire student body about himself, a normal kid who walked the same halls a few years ago, and now is becoming a bishop. He answered questions from the students.
