The superintendents: Muncie to Winchell, with the middle years dark

THE SUCCESSION AS OF NOVEMBER 11, 2026 · THE STATE AUDIT ANCHORS THE MODERN LINE

The superintendency's line is anchored at both ends and dark in the middle, and the file prints it exactly so. The first holder is Harold Rubert Muncie: superintendent of the predecessor PLJ corporation from June 1972, then of the John Glenn School Corporation from its formation until April 1985, when he left for Western Boone — the obituary account the formation entry prints whole, conflict and all. The line then leaves the record reached: no superintendent between Muncie's departure in 1985 and the modern line was found, and the missing twenty-nine years ride as GAP-WKSCH-2, settled by the State Board of Accounts' audit series for the corporation, whose schedules of officials name each superintendent with his term. The modern line is the State's own paper. The Board of Accounts' federal compliance audit of the corporation for July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2019 prints the change with dates: Richard M. Reese, Superintendent, July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2019; Christopher Winchell, Superintendent, from July 1, 2019. Reese was in the office by August 5, 2014, when the board's minutes already show him presiding as superintendent; the year his service began was not settled and rides in the same gap. Winchell holds the office in November 2026 — present as superintendent at the board's meeting of September 15, 2026, and secured in it: on July 16, 2024, the board gave him a five-year contract extension. His second in the central office is Dr. Patrick Fuller, Assistant Superintendent, named in the corporation's 2025 minutes. And Reese's name stays on the campus he ran: in March 2025 the board named John Glenn High School's football field for him.
