Meet the Dean!
As most of you know, Mr. Rastetter stepped down
as Dean of Students. He is fulfilling his dream as Otterbein’s head wrestling
coach. The staff and students are all incredibly excited for this new
opportunity, but sad to see him go.
Until someone can take over full-time, an
Interim Dean of Students has been selected! Mr. Jay Schmidt has 36 years of
experience with Lexington Local Schools. He served 23 years as a teacher and 13
years in administration. He has also been involved in the Lexington Athletic
program on many levels. He has coached Girls High School Basketball, Boys High
School Basketball, High School Track, High School Cross Country, Junior High
Girls Basketball, and Junior High Track. Mr. Schmidt is in his 5th
year of retirement from Lexington, but has never stopped coaching, making this
his 41st year working with Lexington students! In his spare time, Mr. Schmidt enjoys golfing,
cycling, and spending time with his children and grandchildren.
