Anderson and Turpin high schools will each have a new assistant principal when the 2026-2027 school year begins, part of broader leadership changes across Forest Hills School District announced Wednesday, July 23.

Paige Orick, who spent four years teaching science at Anderson, steps into the assistant principal role at her own school. Greg Rose, a three-year assistant principal at West Clermont Middle School, takes over at Turpin. Both officially start Friday, August 1, three weeks before the first day of school.

They aren't the only new faces. Suzanna Davis begins the same day as FHSD's new superintendent, succeeding Larry Hook, who announced his resignation in February after four years leading the district and 36 years in public education.

Davis, who most recently served as senior director of student services for Middletown City Schools, was selected after a search that ran from March to early May. The board voted unanimously on Tuesday, May 5 to approve her contract. Board member Jason Simmons said at that meeting that a consulting arrangement allowed Davis "up to fifteen days of work prior to the August 1 contract date to familiarize herself with the district."

Orick promoted at Anderson

Orick's promotion is an internal move. The district cited her relationships with students and staff and her leadership approach as factors in the selection. The FHSD Board of Education approved an alternative principal license for the incoming Anderson assistant principal at its Monday, June 29 meeting, a procedural step required for her appointment.

Anderson is coming off a Division II state runner-up football finish in 2025. The Raptors open Friday, August 21 at 7 p.m. at home against Trinity (Louisville, Ky.) before traveling to West Clermont on Friday, August 28 for their first conference game.

Rose replaces Casanova at Turpin

Rose replaces J.P. Casanova, who notified Turpin staff earlier in the school year of his intent to resign. The FHSD Board approved Rose's hire at its Wednesday, March 18 meeting on the recommendation of then-Superintendent Hook.

Rose holds a bachelor's degree in history from the University of Cincinnati and a master's in education from Xavier University. Before moving into administration, he taught social studies at Milford, Clermont Northeastern and VLT Academy high schools. The district highlighted his track record implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports and overseeing building safety procedures.
