Born in Beaver Falls, PA (Home of Joe Namath), George graduated from Big Beaver Falls Senior High School in 1994. He was accepted into the Civil Engineering program at the University of Dayton. In the fall of 1995, George began tutoring some children at the Boys & Girls Club on the west side of Dayton. After weeks of tutoring, George knew that education was where he wanted to be. Beginning in the winter of 1996, George enrolled in the Elementary Education program at the University of Dayton. In December of 1998, he graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education (Math Concentration).
Two weeks before graduation, George was hired by Dayton Public Schools to fill an empty Math / Science teaching position. He taught in Dayton Public Schools for 2 1/2 years, before being hired by Jefferson Township Schools to start the Jefferson Academy (7th / 8th grade Math & Science). After a successful year at the Jefferson Academy, George was asked by his principal (Mr. Albert Jordan) to think about a great opportunity at Mound Street Military Careers Academy.
After three successful years of teaching Career-Based Intervention (CBI) at Mound Street Military Careers Academy and earning his Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership at the University of Dayton in 2003, George was offered the principal position in the same academy. Currently, George is on his sixth year as the principal of the Technology, Trades and Military Careers Academy and his first year as principal of both the IT Careers Academy and the Technology, Trades, and Military Academy.
