Franklin County Schools is proud to announce that Mr. Stephen “Geoff” Cody has been named the next principal of Western Hills High School, effective July 1, 2026.

Mr. Cody has served the Western Hills community for several years as a history teacher, basketball coach, and most recently, assistant principal.

He truly exemplifies student-centered leadership and will work tirelessly to ensure Western Hills High School reaches its fullest potential.”

Mr. Cody expressed his gratitude and excitement for the opportunity, saying, “I am excited for this opportunity to be the next leader at Western Hills. I love this school and I love the people I work with. I have worked with really good leaders since I have been here and I am humbled to be in the position to be the next principal here. I told the committee that I am not coming in to learn the school but to lead it. We have great teachers here and I am looking forward to working with them to make sure our students have everything they need when they walk across the stage to receive their diploma and head out into the world and for them to look back and say they had a great high school experience.”

Mr. Cody will succeed Dr. Ryan King, who has served as principal for the past four school years. Franklin County Schools extends sincere thanks to Dr. King for his dedication and leadership.

FCS community,

We are very excited to bring our new Media Arts pathway to our students starting next school year.

Take a look at the bio he has submitted for us to share with you:

"Hi, my name is Nicholas Collier, and I'm super excited to accept the Media Art teacher position at FCCTC. I graduated from Asbury University in 2019 with my Bachelor's in Media Communications. Since then, I've had some great professional experience working with organizations like Marshall University, ESPN, ESPN College GameDay, Drone Racing League, and even the Olympics. I can't wait to jump in and start teaching and mentoring the next generation of media professionals!"

Welcome to our team, Nicholas!
