Katherine Weaver, Tipp High School Principal
“I believe in what we do. I really do! I believe it’s an opportunity to make a huge impact on kids. Schools are the hub of the community.”. That was Katherine Weaver talking, a third-generation educator. Her grandfather taught high school physics and math, and her mother taught education at a university, where Mrs. Weaver worked for her mom in the Dean’s office. She graduated from Centerville High School and went to the University of Dayton (UD) as a Business Major but soon changed to Education. At UD, she met her husband-to-be, and after graduating (and getting married), she moved on to Ohio State to study music. But she soon decided that education was where she really wanted to be, in the classroom with kids. Mrs. Weaver said, “I believe in what we do in public K-through-12 education. I love all the things about it. I’m happy that this is my path.”
