Last night at our school board meeting we honored five of our retirees. Wapakoneta City Schools would like to thank Michelle Law, Mark Koch, Scott Wilson, Michelle Roediger, and Jan Yinger for all that they have done for our school system, and most importantly our kids. Congratulations on your retirement, you will be missed!
Each May, our 5th grade students are able to learn from professionals about many different pieces of heavy equipment and how to use them properly at "Safety Day". Mr. Brown and the WHS Ag. Dept., as well as other local professionals, gather to educate our students on how to be safe on the job. This year, our 6th graders participated as well after being rained out last spring as 5th graders. A huge thank you to Mr. Brown for organizing this event each year!

We’re excited to introduce Mrs. Kimberly Newfer as one of the newest members of our teaching team! With a career in education that began in 1996 as an educational aide and a teaching license earned in 2011, Mrs. Newfer brings years of experience, passion, and dedication to the classroom. She is a proud graduate of Allen East and Apollo and earned her Master of Education degree from Wright State University. Originally from Lafayette, she now lives in Shawnee with her family.
Outside of school, Mrs. Newfer is a proud wife, mom, and “Mimi” to her granddaughter. She enjoys spending time with her family (and their Goldendoodle, Scottie!), exploring Ohio towns, reading, traveling—especially to the coast—and creating engaging classroom materials.
Mrs. Newfer is most excited to join a district that values community and inclusivity and looks forward to supporting student success both academically and personally.
Help us give her a warm Wapak welcome! 🍎📚✏️
