Homer-Center Superintendent Curtis Whitesel will be leaving the district soon to become the superintendent of a school district in Centre County.
The Bald Eagle School District announced on its website that Whitesel was hired by its school board last night to take over for outgoing superintendent Dr. Joseph Clapper. Whitesel was hired by the Homer-Center School District in October of 2019, coming to the district after he was principal of the Mount Union Area School District, including 15 years as high school principal as part of 25 total years in the educational field.
Homer-Center School Board President Michael Bertig said that the board was sad to see Whitesel go, but he has left a positive impact on the district.
Whitesel came to the district about five months before the Covid-19 pandemic hit the schools. He said he was most proud of working with the district to get the schools open five days a week while other schools were still on a modified schedule.
Whitesel will stay on to help Homer-Center search for a new superintendent. He will start at Bald Eagle on or before October 1st.
