Lincoln Elementary students will meet a new principal on the first day of school.
Jason Marciano will lead students and teachers into a new school year. Marciano grew up in Hutchinson and graduated from Hutchinson Community College and Wichita State University.
He recently worked in the Remington district located in Whitewater where he was principal for 13 years. Before that he was an elementary-middle school administrator in the Clifton-Clyde district.
He has been involved in education for 18 years.
 He began as a substitute teacher. That position lead him to become a paraprofessional for the Reno County Special Education Cooperative. He then taught four years as a sixth grade teacher and coach for middle school boys basketball in the Nickerson district.
Marciano said he knew he wanted to get involved as an administrator.
“I have a passion for working with children and felt a calling for administration,” he said. “I like the teaching aspect of education and helping others be successful at it.”
Iola’s school district is different to Marciano because there are two other elementary administrators whereas in previous districts he was the sole principal.
“I am looking forward to having the opportunity to collaborate with other administrators,” he said. “I want to learn about Lincoln Elementary and the systems they have in place.”
Marciano and his wife Kim have been married 18 years. Kim is a certified optical assistant. The couple have two children, Brayden, who will be in the eighth grade, and Taryn, who will be in the fifth grade.
Marciano said his family enjoys traveling and watching sporting events.
The first day of school is Wednesday.
