  Poland School Administrators Named Principals At BHS And Center Intermediate  
  May 27, 2021 Edition  
     Meeting on Monday, May 24, the Boardman Board of Education hired principals for Boardman High School and Center Intermediate School.
      Tapped as the new high school principal, replacing Cyndi Fernback, is Mark Zura; and named new principal at Center Intermediate is Mike Masucci, who replaces Randy Ebie.
      Both new principals come to the Boardman Local School District after serving as administrators with the Poland Local Schools.
      Zura and Masucci received three-year contracts.
      Zura currently serves as Director of Student Services in the Poland Local School District. He has more than 20 years of educational experience, half of which was spent at Boardman. He served as an intervention specialist, teaching math at BHS before becoming Assistant High School Principal, and then Boardman’s Director of Student Services as recently as 2019.
      “I witnessed Mr. Zura grow into an outstanding leader over his nine years as a Boardman staff member and was saddened to see him leave in 2019,” said Supt. Tim Saxton. “He returns to Boardman with even greater leadership skills and wisdom after serving the Poland Local Schools. Boardman High School is in great hands with Mr. Zura at the helm.”
      A West Branch native, Zura earned a bachelor’s degree in secondary education at Youngstown State University, a masters in education administration from Ashland University. He also earned superintendent licensure from Ashland in 2014.
      “I recently returned to [Boardman’s] campus to watch Project Mayhem rehearse for their concert this past weekend and I just felt a sense of great pride,” said Zura. “So many Spartan teachers, staff and administrators continue to have a great impact on me. I am so excited to return to a role where I can get to know and work closely with students, parents and staff members with the goal of building strong relationships and trust.”
      Zura and his wife Jennifer have two children---Olivia is a sophomore and Sean is finishing seventh grade. Education runs in the family, as his wife teaches math in Liberty.
      Zura’s annual salary will be $99,127.
      Masucci is currently principal at Poland Union Elementary School. He is a seasoned educator who began his 27 year career as a Title teacher at Boardman’s West Boulevard Elementary School, taught first grade for eight years in Poland before becoming an elementary principal in 2002.
      “Mr. Masucci brings to Center Intermediate School decades of proven success and dedication to his staff and students,” said Supt. Saxton. “After repeated years of change at our intermediate school, we are excited for the staff and the families at Center to experience Mr. Masucci’s outstanding leadership and passion.”
      A graduate of the Boardman High School Class of 1989, Masucci earned his bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Youngstown State, and his masters in educational administration from YSU in 2001.
      “At 50-years-old, I decided to take a leap. The role of principal of Center Intermediate is an incredible opportunity and I cannot wait to get started,” said Masucci. “I am humbled to join such a tremendous team and look forward to creating a warm, friendly environment where everyone feels welcomed and appreciated.”
      Masucci and his wife Michelle, have three children: a son, Michael, and two daughters, Katie and Hannah.
      Masucci’s annual salary will be $99,820.
