<span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: left;">Have you ever wondered about your Principal? How did he get the job? What is his family like? Well, we have the answers!

Corey, Tyler, and McKenna are the names of his children. His grandson’s name is Ben, and his wife’s name is Amy. He decided to be a principal because he enjoys working with children and adults. Also, there is a great teaching staff at South Williamsport, and he wanted to work with them to really make a difference in the students’ education. The most important things he has to do as a principal is to make educational decisions and work with the teachers on curriculum. He also has to keep everyone safe, discipline the students, and keep the building running smoothly.

He used to work at McDonald’s in high school, and then he was a computer salesman (big shocker!) for 8 years at MMI. Then he went back to school at Lock Haven University for his elementary teaching degree. After being hired by South Williamsport, Mr. Woodley went to Penn State University to earn his Master's Degree in Instructional Systems (Educational Technology) and his Administrative Certification. He has been at South for 13 years.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">He said the requirements of being a principal are to go to college and take classes for administration, and then pass an __//**8 hour test**//__ <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(The test has been shorten now). <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">He has been a principal for 3 years. His favorite color is Penn State blue. His favorite subject is math, and his favorite hobby is playing sports, but basketball mostly.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The whole after-school newspaper crew would like to send out a huge thanks to Mr. Woodley for EVERYTHING he has done for us: putting the articles on the website, interviews, and the special Rommelt tour. THANKS SO MUCH! JJJ

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mr. Woodley is Penn State Proud!
