In the Chillicothe School District, two remarkable individuals have consistently gone above and beyond in their roles, earning them the title of "The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread." Lisa Rule and Marty Sharp exemplify dedication, passion, and a commitment to excellence that positively impacts our students and community.
Lisa Rule: A Theatrical Powerhouse
Mrs. Lisa Rule is a cornerstone of the performing arts program, tirelessly preparing for both fall and spring productions. Her commitment is evident as her vehicle, along with many student vehicles, can be found in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) lot most nights, often late into the evening. The time and effort she invests in her school play preparations are second to none.
Mrs. Rule faces numerous challenges, including last-minute changes and actors being pulled away for other events. Yet, she handles these curveballs with grace and positivity, always finding a way to keep her students engaged and motivated. Her ability to adapt and inspire is truly commendable.
Beyond her role as a director, Mrs. Rule goes above and beyond by serving as both the PAC technician and general manager. She collaborates with district staff to ensure that events and concerts held in the PAC run smoothly, taking charge of lighting and sound to create unforgettable experiences for all attendees. Her dedication to the arts and her students makes her an invaluable asset to our district.

Marty's willingness to go above and beyond is a testament to his character. He understands that his purpose is to serve others, and he does so with a smile. Known for his "try and try again" attitude, Marty always looks on the bright side, ready to lend a helping hand wherever needed.
This year, Marty worked countless overtime hours to ensure a seamless transition to the new CES building. He willingly takes on multiple roles, ensuring that the school is tidy and that both teachers and students have everything they need to succeed. His commitment to creating a positive and supportive environment exemplifies what it means to be a dedicated member of the Chillicothe School District.
