At the August 21 staff convocation meeting, Chagrin Falls Schools surprised two staff members with one of the highest awards given by the District. Kathy Ohlrich, a sixth-grade math teacher at Chagrin Falls Intermediate School, is the Teacher of the Year. The Staff Employee of the Year is Gigi Kuper-Lewis, an administrative assistant at Chagrin Falls Intermediate School.
Principal Curtis Howell states…
Kathy Ohlrich’s legacy is evidenced by the multitudes of teachers, staff and especially students she has impacted. She is a celebrity. She is a rockstar. She is everything a Teacher of the Year should exemplify.
Gigi Kuper-Lewis is a teacher at heart. Her character, morals and personality make me want to be a better leader in our building. She is loyal, honest and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
