VERSAILLES, IN –The Southeastern Career Center Board of Trustees has hired Tracy Bear as their next superintendent.
“The SCC Board of Directors is excited about Mrs. Tracy Bear being the next Director of the Southeastern Career Center,” said board vice president and Lawrenceburg Community Schools Superintendent Karl Galey. “Her passion for seeing students and staff excel will move the SCC in a positive direction for the future. Her collaborative leadership style will help build relationships within the Career Center and through the community and business partners.”
Bear, a native of Bright, has spent the past 16 years in various roles of increasing responsibility at SCC, most recently as interim director.
She moved to Harrison, Ohio at age 10, graduated from Harrison High School, and received an Associate in Business Software from Southern Ohio College in Cincinnati.
Bear received her Bachelors in Elementary Education and Interdisciplinary Studies from Regent University, VA Beach, VA, and completed both a Master’s in Education and Principal Licensure Program from Indiana Wesleyan University.
She is licensed in K-12 Building Level Administration and is in her final stage of an Educational Specialist Degree, also through Indiana Wesleyan University.
Bear has served SCC as a business teacher, counselor/Dean of Students, and most recently as principal while serving as interim director/superintendent.
Bear says she’s excited to continue her service to SCC as the Director/Superintendent and is proud of the programs it offers.
“The Career and Technical Education Next Level Pathways we offer are state of the art,” Bear said. “As the students identify their career pathway, my goal is for each child to gain the skill set, knowledge, competencies, and employability skills to enter one of the 3 E’s, Employment, Enlist, or Education.”
Bear is the mother of three children (ages 14, 12 and 9), all of whom attend Sunman-Dearborn schools.
