Dr. Daniel W. LukichDistrict 15 Names New Superintendent

Daniel W. Lukich has been selected by the Board of Education as the new Community Consolidated School District 15 superintendent, effective July 1, 2008. Dr. Lukich is currently superintendent of Orange Schools in Pepper Pike, Ohio, a position he has held since 1997.

Dr. Lukich will succeed current District 15 superintendent Dr. Robert A. McKanna, who is retiring at the end of June. Dr. Lukich was selected after a nationwide search that began last fall.

“We are pleased to have been able to attract a proven administrator who has experience in a variety of educational settings,” said Board of Education President Gerald Chapman. “In extensive discussions with Dr. Lukich, it is clear that he shares the District 15 commitment to quality schools and to providing the kind of positive learning environment in which all students can grow and flourish.”

A native of Ohio, Dr. Lukich holds a bachelor of arts degree in history and political science from Mt. Union College in Alliance, Ohio; a master’s of science degree in personnel counseling and educational psychology from Miami University of Ohio; and a Ph.D. degree, also from Miami of Ohio. Since 1985, he has served as superintendent in four school districts: Union Schools, St. Clairsville, Ohio; Lawton Community Schools, Kalamazoo, Mich.; Gull Lake Community Schools, Richland, Mich.; and his present position.

Dr. Lukich and his wife Judy are the parents of four children. Three of them—Danielle, Lincoln, and Andrew—are graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy, and the fourth, Alexander, will begin studies at the Naval Academy this summer.
