Sweep of November 11, 2026 · the board transition prints as a transition
The corporation: the John Glenn School Corporation stands as the Schools section banked it — Superintendent Christopher Winchell, in the seat since July 1, 2019 and extended by the board's five-year action of July 16, 2024; John Glenn High School under Principal Chris Manering (201 John Glenn Drive; 629 students in 2024–25 on the carrier reached; the corporation's enrollment at 1,993 enrollment for 2024–25 on the NCES record — the NCES Common Core count; the state's own fall ADM figure stands unpulled (GAP-WKSCH-3)); Urey Middle School under Sean Steinkellner; Walkerton Elementary under Kara Kaser. St. Patrick School's closed course (1956–2008) is the Schools and Religion sections' whole; no parochial or private school operates in Walkerton today, and none is printed as doing so. The board seat — a transition: the corporation's Lincoln Township seat was contested on November 3, 2026, and the unofficial returns give it to Carissa Smith, 1,602 votes (59.6 percent), over Dennis Metz Jr., 1,084 (40.4 percent). Smith takes the seat with the new board year; the incumbent she succeeds is not named in any return the search reached and is not guessed here. The corporation's formation date itself stands expressly unsettled (GAP-WKSCH-1, the Schools section's), and this chapter conforms nothing about it. The Spell Bowl dynasty of the Awards leg — eighteen state titles on the school's count — stands as the high school's living academic record.
