State Representative Al Landis (R-Dover) today collaborated with New Philadelphia City Schools in its “Principal for a Day” program. As part of the program, Representative Landis served as principal for Central Elementary School.

“Spending the entire day with more than 350 of our young students was very fun and rewarding,” Representative Landis said. “I enjoyed every minute of going to where my interest in public service began and sharing that with the students.”

Representatives Landis’ day serving as principal included speaking at a school assembly, visiting the students in their classrooms, and eating lunch with Central’s regular principal, John Zucal, as well as two students from the Student Activity & Involvement Leaders.

“Central Elementary has a terrific group of kids and an excellent group of teachers,” Representative Landis said. “They are under great leadership with Principal John Zucal.”
