NEW CUMBERLAND - Dan Enich has been selected to take the reins of the Hancock County Schools system.
The Hancock County Board of Education voted 5-0 in a special meeting tonight in favor of naming the long-time educator to the post of superintendent of Hancock County Schools, with a four-year contract to begin July 1.
Enich will replace current superintendent Dawn Petrovich.
"My goal is to set a positive tone and direction for Hancock County Schools," Enich said following the vote. "I feel that the baton is being passed to me from some great superintendents over the years."
Enich currently serves as the director of career tech and adult education and director of the John D. Rockefeller IV Career Center. He previously has been an assistant superintendent of the county school system, head principal at Weir High and Weir Middle, assistant principal at Weir High, Weir Middle and Oak Glen High, and has been the head coach of the Weir High football and baseball teams.
