Middle and High School Principal Kip O’Leary grew up in Ottawa Lake and later graduated from Tecumseh Public Schools. He spent the majority of his teaching career at Saline Area Schools and then became a building principal at Garden City Schools in 2006. Mr. O’Leary retired in 2019 to work for ESPN and NBC Sports, but returned to public education shortly thereafter. When asked why he chose to come to Morenci he explained, “Being around this community allowed me to see the small town values and the pride Morenci has for its schools and community. This is why I chose and am grateful to be a part of the One Team, One Town, One Family. I am looking forward to an energized and engaging school year!”
