Guthrie Superintendent Dr. Mike Simpson said he is excited for Ogle to be coming to Guthrie and joining the staff.
The Junior High is still without an assistant principal job and is expected to be filled soon. The position became open when Terry Carris announced his retirement following the school 2012-13 school year.
Doug Ogle is a good man, and Guthrie is extremely lucky to have him joining their administration!
