Baker chosen to lead Hanby Elementary as next principal
Caley Baker has been selected as the next principal of Westerville's Hanby Elementary, 56 S. State St., pending board approval.
Superintendent John Kellogg notified Hanby staff and families July 7 that Baker has been selected, following an interview process.
Greg Viebranz, executive director of communications and family engagement, said the board of education would take action on Baker’s contract July 8.
Her annual salary is estimated at $100,000, in addition to benefits totaling $54,325.
Baker has been with the district since 2007, when she began her career as a social studies teacher at Genoa Middle School.
Ten years later, in 2017, she became an educational technology coach for the district and since 2018, she has been the district’s K-12 gifted education coordinator.
Last year, she added professional development coordination to her job responsibilities and her title changed to coordinator of gifted education and professional development, Kellogg said.
She received a bachelor’s degree in integrated social studies and a master’s degree in social studies education from The Ohio State University.
Baker holds her Gifted Endorsement/Certificate from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Education in educational leadership from Ohio Dominican University.
Kellogg said principal Megan Rose Forman sent a message last month, announcing she would be leaving Hanby to become the district's director of elementary curriculum and instruction.
