Sexton named interim superintendent of Lynchburg-Clay Local Schools

At a special board meeting July 10, the Lynchburg-Clay Board of Education hired Mr. Ron Sexton as the interim superintendent for 2024-25.  

Sexton succeeds Jack Fisher, who resigned after serving with the district for three years.  

Sexton began teaching at Wilmington High School in 1980, where he eventually served as the superintendent. After 37 years in education, Sexton retired from Wilmington City Schools. This retirement did not last long, though, before Sexton accepted the position of interim Superintendent for Greenfield Exempted Village Schools. In what was meant to be a year, he was asked to stay at Greenfield for longer than expected, and now he continues as the new interim superintendent for Lynchburg-Clay Schools.

Sexton takes great pride in his family. He has been married to his high school sweetheart, Tammy, also an educator, for 43 years. He has one son, Matt, a teacher at Hillsboro City Schools; a daughter-in-law, Jia; a sweet granddaughter, Erika, who is 3; and a daughter, Carrie, who is a librarian at Wilmington Public Library. The family is rounded out by two golden retrievers, Harper and Lily, and a Goldendoodle, Archer.

The Lynchburg-Clay Board of Education is excited to welcome Mr. Sexton to the district.
