Superintendent

The Northmont City School District is home and Mr. Thomas feels blessed to serve such a wonderful community with so many talented people on staff. Starting with the Board of Education, gifted teachers, caring administrators, a giving support staff, engaged parents, diverse students, and a supportive community this is a great place to learn, live and work. Northmont believes when students are engaged in the learning process they gain a deeper understanding that will prepare them for a bright future.  When parents/guardians partner with the school district success is guaranteed.

Mr. Thomas has his Bachelor of Arts in Comprehensive Social Studies from Ohio University and his master’s degree from Wright State. Principal and superintendent certification requirements were also completed at Wright State.  He completed the Ohio School Leadership Institute in 2012 and the Ohio Career Technical Educational Leadership Institute in 2001. He completed the Ohio Superintendent Professional Learning academy in 2019.  Tony testified to Representatives of Congress in Washington D.C. and works with Ohio legislators on a continuous basis advocating for students and public education including testifying to the Property Tax Reform Committee in the spring of 2024. He reports directly to the Board of Education and serves as the Board’s Chief Executive Officer. As superintendent, he supports administrators and principals in their everyday jobs so teachers can do what they need to give every student hope.  He also interacts with the community to make sure that the community is an integral partner with the school.  He was recognized in 2023 by his Ohio superintendent colleagues with the Exemplary Education Leadership salutation.
