Dear Hilltopper Community,
Please join me in welcoming Mason Cole as the District's new Communications Director.

Mason has a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from Cleveland State University. His work experience is in media communications as a newspaper reporter for the Warren Tribune Chronicle where he covered school districts and other government entities.
In addition, Mason brings to Chardon a background in social media, website maintenance and other communications tools.
I know that you join me in welcoming Mason, as well as extending a sincere farewell and thank you to Kelly Misch for her dedicated efforts to tell the positive story of Chardon Schools. She advanced our communications strategic plan and developed a number of award-winning communications that showcased our school district. Kelly is credited with making significant advancements in our district communications during her time with Chardon Schools.
Mason will be taking the reins in July, and I am confident that with his breadth of experience, he will continue that growth for Chardon.
He resides in Middlefield with his wife Lauren and is the son of recently retired CHS teacher, Ron Cole. Mason is an avid sports spectator and enjoys reading in his spare time.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Hanlon, Jr., Ph.D.
Superintendent
