Pat Coleman led Lorain High School through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic which included transitioning its students and staff through remote learning, hybrid learning, and the return to in-person instruction.
"To say we couldn’t have done it without him is no understatement," continued Graham. "He created an environment of respect for our students and staff right when it was needed most. He’s kept the focus on listening to those we serve and responding appropriately, all while making it clear that our priority during such challenges times must be on taking care of one another. He’s an extraordinary educator and human being. He will be missed.”
Lorain City Schools will begin their search for a new lead principal at the school right away, and asks for patience while they vet candidates to ensure the right fit for the school moving forward.
Interested candidates are encouraged to review the district's "We Believe" strategic plan before applying. Qualified educators with a passion for equity, trauma-informed practices and academic rigor are encouraged to apply once the position is posted.
