Ridgewood Elementary students will have a new "Head Roadrunner" when they come back from this year's summer break.

Kevin Buchman, who currently serves as principal of Hilliard Station Sixth Grade School, will join the Ridgewood family for the 2017-2018 school year. Mr. Buchman taught for 19 years in Perry Local Schools before joining Hilliard as an administrator in 2009. He has been principal of Hilliard Station since the spring of 2012.

Ridgewood's current principal, Tara Grove, will remain in that position for the rest of the current school year. Ms. Grove served for five years as principal of Roxboro Elementary in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District before joining Hilliard City Schools in 2013 as principal of Avery Elementary. She transferred to Ridgewood for the 2015-2016 school year.
