The Benjamin Logan Local School District has announced the selection of Dr. Sean T. Flynn as its next superintendent.

Dr. Flynn will succeed Superintendent John Scheu, who announced his intention to retire in December with a final day of service scheduled for July 31, 2026, according to a district media release at that time.

Scheu has served the Benjamin Logan school community for the past six years, beginning as interim superintendent before being appointed to the permanent role. His career in education spans 52 years.

Flynn brings more than a decade of experience in education and school leadership, along with a strong commitment to student success and community collaboration.

He currently serves as principal of Phoenix Middle School and Worthington Academy in Worthington City Schools, where he has led school improvement efforts, supported innovative programming, strengthened community partnerships and fostered a positive culture for students and staff.

Previously, Dr. Flynn served as principal at Finland Elementary School in South-Western City Schools, assistant principal at Tussing Elementary School in Pickerington Local Schools and as a fifth-grade math and science teacher. Throughout his career, he has focused on building strong school cultures, developing collaborative leadership teams and ensuring every student is supported in reaching their full potential.

Dr. Flynn earned his Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership from The Ohio State University in 2023. He also holds a Master of Arts in Education Administration from Ohio State and bachelor’s degrees in psychology and education from Ashland University. He is licensed in Ohio as a superintendent, principal and middle grades educator.

A product of rural Ohio, Dr. Flynn said he looks forward to joining the Benjamin Logan community.

“I relate deeply to the families of rural Ohio and the strong values that define communities like Benjamin Logan,” Flynn said. “Every student deserves to be challenged, prepared and empowered to succeed beyond graduation. I am honored for the opportunity to work alongside the students, staff, families and community members of Benjamin Logan.”

Additional details regarding Flynn’s transition will be announced in the coming weeks.
