Superintendent
Welcome to Independence Local Schools! Our district consists of a primary, middle, and high school and has dedicated and experienced faculty and support staff. With more than 1,000 enrolled students, it serves the approximately 7,500 residents of the Independence, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio.
I am thrilled to join this vibrant community as your superintendent. As we embark on this exciting journey together, my commitment is to foster an environment where every student thrives and every educator feels empowered.
Our goal is to build on the strong foundation already in place and to work collaboratively to create innovative and inspiring educational experiences. I am looking forward to partnering with parents, teachers, students, and community members to make our schools the best they can be.
Thank you for the warm welcome!
Kelli Cogan, Superintendent
