Valorie Lewis – Board President
Term Expires – December 31, 2025

I graduated from Waynedale High School in 1984. My husband, Larry, is a 1981 graduate of Waynedale also. We have three boys, Benjamin, Spenser, and Seth who have graduated from Waynedale. I have been employed at Reberland Equipment, Inc. for 33 years, and I have lived in the Apple Creek area my whole life. I enjoyed my educational experience, and the experiences of my children, at Southeast Local Schools.

I am in my fourth term on the School Board, having previously served one term from 2000–2004, and look forward to being actively involved in the future of Southeast Local Schools. I am a past PTO officer, Booster Club Officer, and have served as East Union Township Fiscal Officer for the past sixteen years.

I look forward to serving all of the communities within our District to provide the best educational experience for all the students of Southeast Local. I strive to be accessible to any questions or concerns from community members and staff. I can be reached at 330-698-5883 ext 100 (work), or 330-464-1836 (cell).

I am a 1975 graduate of Hiland High School. I live outside of Fredericksburg and am employed as a Rural Carrier for the Fredericksburg Post Office. I enjoy working with people and look forward to serving my community as a board member.

I am married to Betty (Weaver), and have 3 children: Ryan, Kelly and Brady. I enjoy family time and watching my children as they participate in various activities at school, church and our community. I spend a lot of time at the local ball diamond, working with those who run the program and working with the kids. Sports have always been a favorite pastime for me, and I enjoy attending as many Southeast events as possible.

As a Board Member, I look forward to serving all of our communities and students. I feel we have a great school system and I am excited to be a part of educating our students. A school district’s biggest challenge is to meet the needs of ALL of the students. A true educator meets and challenges each student at the level that they are at.

As your elected representative, I want to have an open line of communication with the Southeast staff and community members. I can be reached at (home) 330-695-6503 or (cell) 330-464-0957.

I grew up just outside of Kidron and graduated from Faith Christian Academy in 1999. I have been employed at Kidron Electric since 2006.

In 2002 my wife Amy and I married and started our home in the Fredericksburg area. We now have three children, Isaiah, Dominic and Isabella all who attend Southeast. Over the years we have tried to be involved in our church and community. Amy has volunteered at Fredericksburg Elementary, is involved with the booster club and OHuddle mentoring program. I have enjoyed coaching our children and their friends in baseball, football, and basketball.

As a board member I want to support and encourage our teachers and staff in helping to keep an environment where our children can grow in knowledge and character while developing into honorable, contributing members of the community. I hope to encourage parental and community involvement in our children’s lives. Together we are better. I can be reached by phone at (330) 466-2364 or email at soea_bmiller@tccsa.net
