The Shaker Heights City School District is pleased to announce two important leadership changes for the 2022-23 school year. 

 

Tiffany M. Joseph, currently principal at Woodbury Elementary School, will become the District’s new Director of Human Resources. She succeeds Barbara Maceyak, who is retiring effective June 30, 2022. Eric B. Forman, currently principal at Onaway Elementary School, will take over as principal at Woodbury. A search for Mr. Forman’s replacement at Onaway will begin immediately.

 

Ms. Joseph has served as principal at Woodbury since July 1, 2020. She previously served as Assistant Principal at Shaker Heights High School. Prior to coming to Shaker Heights, Ms. Joseph served as the Principal of the Early College Academy @ Crenshaw Middle School in Canton. Ms. Joseph has also worked in a variety of administrative roles at Canton City Schools. Ms. Joseph began her career in education in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District where she was an intervention specialist and assistant principal. 

 

“I have enjoyed my two years at Woodbury, and while I will miss my students, families and staff, I look forward to serving the District in this new important role,” Joseph said. “I am committed to making the transition as seamless as possible, through collaborating with Mr. Forman prior to departure from this role. I am confident that Mr. Forman will continue and expand on our work.”

 

Mr. Forman came to the District in July 2016. He served as assistant principal at the Campus International School at Cleveland State University. Prior to joining Campus International, Mr. Forman served as director of curriculum and instruction at Entrepreneurship Preparatory School, a Breakthrough Schools charter school in Cleveland serving students in grades 5-8. He also has been assistant principal at Tompkins Square Middle School in New York City. His experience as an educator includes teaching seventh- and eighth-grade math at Tompkins Square Middle School and at Franklin D. Roosevelt Middle School in Cleveland.

 

“I am very excited about the opportunity to join the Woodbury staff and to get the opportunity to work with all the students in our school district,” Forman said. “I look forward to working with Ms. Joseph to make a smooth transition for our students and staff. As an educator, I am committed to ensuring that all Woodbury children are set up for future success.”  

 

Superintendent Dr. David Glasner said the change in roles for the two administrators will benefit students, families and the District as a whole.

 

“Ms. Joseph is a skilled administrator with experience in all facets of education,” Glasner said. “Her talents, as well as her deep knowledge of the Shaker Heights Schools, makes her extraordinarily qualified to take over as our next Human Resources Director.

 

“Mr. Forman’s experience spans working with young learners and middle years learners,” Glasner added. “He is the ideal person to work with students in this crucial stage of their school experience. We are delighted he will be serving in this new role.”
